Young Jennie Carmichael was killed in an accident when her wheelchair slipped over the edge of the staircase. Her last regret was never having told her boss, private investigator Sam Magee, that she loved him. But Jennie is given a second chance when she wakes up in the body of Maxine Lizbon, Sam's ex-wife. She is found by Sam, laying in the hallway outside of his office with her head bleeding. It seems Maxine was injured and trying to get to Sam to tell him something when she died. Jennie now has a chance to tell Sam how she feels, and find out who killed Maxine.

This is the third book in Tina Wainscott's Soul Change series. I read the first two books several years ago and just stumbled across this one. I liked the set up of this story...the heroine gets a second chance in the body of the detested ex-wife. Sam can't believe the changes in Maxine. She is now a nice person...even the dog likes her. There is just something about her that reminds him of Jennie.

The story was okay, but seemed to drag on too long. For some reason, Jennie thought she could not tell Sam what had happened to her, but she had no problem telling her old roommate. The mystery about who killed Maxine was an easy one to figure out. This is a good story, but could have been better. My rating: 3 Stars.
