About this listen

When a visiting author is murdered, bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her ghostly companion must spook out the devious killer in this Haunted Bookshop mystery from Cleo Coyle, writing as Alice Kimberly.

The only rule bookshop owner and widow Penelope Thornton-McClure has given ghostly, hard-boiled PI Jack Shepard is to not haunt the customers. But when the hot, young author Angel Stark arrives at the store to promote her latest, a true-crime novel, Jack can hardly contain himself. After all, this is his specialty!

Angel's book is an unsolved mystery about a debutante found strangled to death, and it's filled with juicy details that point a finger at a number of people in the deb's high-society circle. But when the author winds up dead, too - in precisely the same way - Pen is fast on the case...which means Jack is, too. After all, a ghost detective never rests in peace.

Ghostly Gumshoe... what's not to like?

This is a series I come back to when I want a cozy read with a touch of grit in Jack Shepherd.

Lots of fun.

Very engaging. I never guess the killer. The concept of learning from a ghost detective is delightful. Glad her neighbours are becoming loyal friends. Cannot wait for the next book.

Cleo Coyle is amazing

So far all her books are a treat to listen to! This modern spin on the ghost and Mrs. Muir is really cute
