Murder in Doubt, Rodney Strong

Third novel in the super-cozy Hitchhiker series which features stay at home dad Oliver Atkinson, and his propensity to pick up ghostly hitchhikers with problems that they need solving. In this outing he finds himself dealing with a precious nine-year-old and an investigation into what happened to her friend back in 1978. Obviously this isn't a series that's designed to appeal to those of us with slightly darker tastes, but it's light-hearted, more than a bit tongue in cheek silly, and should be an entertaining read for anyone who leans towards the cozier side of the genre.
