Penelope Thornton-McClure and her bookshop’s ghost-in-residence Jack Shepard are back on a new case in this delightful paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle.

A big bestseller leads to small town trouble.

Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure didn’t believe in ghosts, until she was haunted by the hard-boiled spirit of 1940s private investigator Jack Shepard. Now Jack is back on the job, and Pen is eternally grateful…

After an elegant new customer has a breakdown in her shop, Penelope suspects there is something bogus behind the biggest bestseller of the year. This popular potboiler is so hot that folks in her tiny Rhode Island town are dying to read it–literally. First one customer turns up dead, followed by another mysterious fatality connected to the book, which Pen discovers is more than just fiction. Now, with the help of her gumshoe ghost, Pen must solve the real-life cold case behind the bogus bestseller before the killer closes the book on her.

Review:

Loved the book. I have been waiting for a long time to read about what antics Pen and Jack get into. When   Emma comes into the store and see the cover of a book she goes off the deep end. She almost runs over someone in the street and then commits sucide? Pen knows there is somehting upand with Jack’s help she will find out what is going on.

Then we have Amy who is a guest of Spencers. Will we ever hear from her mom?

All the characters are back..unt Sadie, co-owner of the bookstore, mailman Seymour, and Bookmark, the cat.  The authors know how to tell astory to keep the reader turing the pages. There are so manyu twists and angels you will be shocked at the end.

It was fun to read Jack help her by letting her in on an old case.  It really helped Pen with some clues.
