Nothing tickles my funny bone more than the antics of a pampered princess who has to work like the rest of us if she wants to eat when the family fortune dries up. Pepper Martin takes the only job available as a cemetery tour guide–who knew such a creepy job existed?

From Susie's list on mysteries with ghost characters.
I enjoyed the sassy main character, Pepper, who suddenly acquires the ability to interact with the dead.

Her job as a cemetery tour guide adds its own comedy to the story.
