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 best-selling author Cleo Coyle.

A big best-seller 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 best-seller 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 best-seller before the killer closes the book on her.

Loved it! This is only part of an engaging series about friendships, successful women, the supernatural, love beyond the grave, all wrapped in mysteries, both past and present. Ms Coyle is a talented, writer storyteller, who is now one of my favorites.

This is a fun series with no cussing and no sex scenes. I love the fact I listen to this in my car with my kids.

I love this series!

I’ve listened to Cleo Coyle’s coffeehouse books and really enjoyed them. I hesitated starting this series, but am so glad I decided to listen. They’re charming! The characters are quirky and fun and the narrators are spot on. The voices are very easily distinguished from each other and so well done. The integration of current day and 1940’s New York City is seamless and well done with just the right amount of “film noir” gumshoe and believable ghost story. I highly recommend these books.

Delightful!!!

Below is my review from 2018 when I read it on my Nook. I am re-reading the series in audio format and doing what I typically don't do....reading/listening to the entire series one after the other. Sort of chain-reading/listening.
I can still absolutely recommend this book, series and author.

I have missed this series so much! So very glad it's returned. I have a crush on fictional character Jack Shepherd, who is a ghost from back in the day of dames, gams, noir mystery talk. It's a good mystery but it's the little touches that I adore. How Jack and Pen talk to each other, how he can bring her to his back-in-the-day via her dreams to make a point, how Jack is able to come along with Pen.
The characters are varied and vivid, the make you smile or grimace.
Pen has a lot on her plate being a small-business owner, a mom, an investigator much to the dismay of the local cops. She makes it all work and I didn't roll my eyes once with how it all works out. That happens in some of the books I read. I know there is no way a normal person could do everything that they do in the book like having snacks ready at the snap of a finger, decorations pulled from somewhere, different dishes for each holiday, kids disappearing or seemingly able to take care of themselves or even pets.
Pen follows the clues with Jack's help and makes for a good mystery.
I can absolutely recommend this book, this series and this author.

I had no idea how Traber Burns got narration credit on this book until the last chapter when he narrated the last chapter/epilogue. It was hard getting around the fact Jack was narrated by a woman’s voice, Caroline Shaffer, when he was such a manly voice in all the previous books, it just sounded wrong .
I understand the next book will be a totally different narrator.

Wrong voice

At first I was not so sure but turns out this a fun and entertaining detective series and definitely recommend. Narration is really great and in my opinion brings the series to life.

What Fun Series
