Dearly Departed

The Jerry McNeal Series, Book 18

By: Sherry A. Burton

Narrated by: Bethanne Reid

In Book 18 of The Jerry McNeal Series, Mr. Bigsby, the spirit who’s been seeking April’s assistance, is back and insisting she drop everything to help save his wife before it’s too late. The wife is leaving on a cruise in two days and Mr. Bigsby fears the man will successfully swindle her out of her inheritance.

While Jerry’s former boss, Seltzer, and his wife, June, are slated to be on the same cruise, the spirit insists April go along to make sure his wife isn’t duped by the man suspected of catfishing her. The planets align when a wedding party cancels at the last moment, allowing Jerry and April to not only take their place on the ship, but if Jerry has his way, utilize their good fortune to finally make April his wife. Will April be able to help Mr. Bigsby convince his wife the man she is dating isn’t the man she thinks he is? Will Jerry and April depart the ship as newlyweds?

Find out as Jerry and the crew encounter ghostly hijinks on the heavy seas, and hold on to your lifejackets as they join forces to bring down a scam artist who is preying on spouses of the Dearly Departed.
