Publisher's summary

Imagine spending eternity with your backside hanging out! That’s what Emma Whitecastle and Granny Apples can’t help but think when they meet the ghost of Tessa North frolicking in the surf off Cataline Island.

Tessa, a young starlet who died on the island in the 1960s wearing nothing but a polka-dot bikini, won’t cross over until “Curtis” comes for her. To help the winsome, bikini-clad spirit, Emma and Granny must find out who Curtis is and how Tessa died.

Their investigation takes them from the grit and glamour of Hollywood to Kennedy-era political intrigue before hitting dangerously close to home.

Ghost in the Polka Dot Bikini - slightly spoilery

The main character takes the lemons of a cheating spouse, divorce, death, and an newly developed talent for seeing ghosts and makes lemonade. She has a new relationship with an understanding and handsome new man, a new job, and many new dead friends.

Loved this 2nd book

I had wondered if the 2nd book would be as good as the first and it was. I really enjoyed the story the mystery and the ghosts. Props to the author for her creative work and the narrator for bringing it to life. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great to listen to!

The story held my interest from the start. The narrator did an excellent job of portraying the various characters in the book. I highly recommend it.

Love it

Another great story in the Granny Apple series. No matter where Emma goes she encounters a ghost who needs help. This time it involves a ghost of a girl who disappeared in the 60's. I so enjoy this series. It keeps me entertained throughout the book. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sandra Murphy is fantastic with the narration. She does a great job with the voices for all the characters.

A most entertaining read

Thoroughly enjoyed the story, even though I hadn't had the opportunity read Book 1. Thankfully got just enough past history that I don't feel like I was missing anything. Narrator was very good -- change of character voices added to the charm of the story. I can highly recommend this book and look forward to heard more about the adventures of Fancy Pants and her Granny Ghost!

Extremely enjoyable

I found this audiobook to be an extremely enjoyable listen. It has a great combination of murder, mystery, suspense and drama. The narrator has done a wonderful job with each character.

Stuck in era of the 60’s

Emma is always finding another ghost that needs help in this with Granny Apple. A girl stuck in the era of the 60’s, cute with an adult take on it, and Granny speaking her mind, good narration added to the story
Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
