One of my favorite series of mysteries is called the "Haunted Bookshop Mystery" series by Cleo Coyle. I've just finished the seventh book in the series called" The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait." It was wonderful, 5 of 5 stars! Today's blog is about the book.
I love the characters!!! Pen McClure owns a mystery book store in Quindicott, Rhode Island with her aunt Sadie. In the 1940s a private investigator named Jack, was killed in the store, thus he haunts it. Pen can hear him and he has helped her solve mysteries in the town. There are a lot of great supporting characters, too. One is a mailman and another is a college professor who bicker back and forth. In this story, an art collector is selling his paintings, and one is supposed to have a curse on it, that leads to various deaths, family matters, a tie in to a case that the dead detective had in the 1940s, and more. It's a great read!! I look forward to the next book!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait is the seventh book in Cleo Coyle's Haunted Bookshop Mystery series, featuring bookstore owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her ghost sidekick, Jack Shepard, as they investigate a mysterious, cursed-seeming portrait that causes accidents. The cozy mystery blends contemporary and noir elements, with Penelope enlisting the help of the 1940s-era ghost detective to solve the case, which involves a vintage book cover painting and a woman rumored to have gone mad.
