Ghosts, Wandering Here and There

Previously published as "Ghost of a Chance."When dancer Kiely Davlin receives a frantic call from her best friend, director Lida Rose Worthington asking her to head to Texas to choreograph the 100th anniversary of melodrama Bad Business on the Brazos, Kiely knows there's trouble ahead. She's right. Temperamental performers are one thing. But murder and the ghost of the last man to play the villain in Bad Business fifty years earlier might just send Kiely back to Manhattan - or into an early grave.

From Booklist

Kudos for Zebra's Debut line for new romance writers, and bravo for Fitzpatrick, who has written a delightfully humorous and innocent romantic mystery. Kiely Davlin knows she is setting herself up for trouble when she takes the job of choreographer and saloon slut in a revival performance of the melodrama Bad Business on the Brazos at a historic Dallas theater because Bad Business has always been cursed. Three members of the original cast, who performed 100 years ago, may have been murdered. The last performance, 50 years ago, resulted in the shooting death onstage of hunky and talented Don Mueller, who was playing the villain Nick Nefarious. With accidents, a near beheading of the leading man, visits from Don's ghost, and handsome Rafe Montez, who plays Nick, turning up in the darnedest places, it's obvious that everything that can go wrong will. Fitzpatrick has created some charmingly quirky characters and an effectively combined mystery plot with a "clean" happily-ever-after romance.
