The first Haunted Bookshop mystery from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle, writing as Alice Kimberly
Young widow Penelope Thornton-McClure and her old Aunt Sadie are making ends meet by managing a mystery book shop-a quaint Rhode Island landmark rumored to be haunted. Pen may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in good publicity-like nabbing Timothy Brennan for a book signing. But soon after the bestselling thriller writer reveals a secret about the store's link to a 1940s murder, he keels over dead-and right in the middle of the store's new community events space.
Who gives Mrs. McClure the first clue that it was murder? The bookstore's full-time ghost-a PI murdered on the very spot more than fifty years ago. Is he a figment of Pen's overactive imagination? Or is the oddly likable fedora-wearing specter the only hope Pen has to solve the crime? You can bet your everlasting life on it.
