This is the 5th book in the series and well, I'm still having the same trouble I had with Penelope after the second book ... she's not very bright and surprisingly naive. Why this bothers me so much, I can't say, except that she seems incapable of learning? Shrugs. ( ) ghosts, mystery, bookseller, amateur-sleuth, private-investigators, law-enforcement, lawyers, murder, murder-investigation, small-business, small-town, family, family-dynamics, friendship, widow, chicanery, situational-humor, verbal-humor***** It took a bit to get into it because I had not read any earlier books in the series, but then I really enjoyed this tale. Jack was a private eye who died in 1949 NYC but is now a ghost who solves murder problems with bookseller Pen McClure in a small town in Rhode Island. This case involves a favorite customer and the local letter carrier as well as an inheritance and some unfriendly ghosts. Well done whodunit complete with humor. The audio is exceptionally well done by Caroline Shaffer and Traber Burns Although I still love Jack, there isn’t a whole lot of different stuff in this book. Not that it’s bad at all, just kind of routine and typical. Body found, side story with one of the main characters, Pen and Jack investigate, case solved. One thing I do love with this series is that the characters remain true to the storyline and we don’t have too many new characters introduced. I thought this was the last one, which would be sort of a horrible way to end, but apparently it is not... Pen and Jack must travel back to Jack's time to find what is similar about one of his old cases to the current murder of the owner of Todd Mansion. With Seymour a prime suspect in the murder, it is up to them to save him. I enjoyed this story. I always enjoy when Pen goes back to Jack's time. I love the 1940's. As Jack pushes her to find the connection between their cases and pushes her to develop more of her detecting skills, it's fun to watch her grow both as a person and a PI. There is humor as everyone mistakenly believe something is going on between her and Seymour. For as many cozy mysteries as I have read I would think I would get who it was but until the end of the story I had no idea. Guess I'll never be a detective. Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her unseen ghost, 1940s PI Jack Shepard, find themselves involved in a haunted haouse inherited by Pen's friend, Seymour Tarnish. murder attempts are made and the lady who left Seymour the house appeared to have been scared to death. The dumb-as-a-post chief of police ignores the obvious questions although anxious to arrest Seymour for murder and then Pen experiences the haunting first-hand. What is going on? Always entertaining, this fifth entry in the series continues to maintain its quality. Enjoyed it a lot. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: When the local mailman inherits a haunted house and demands an exorcism, Pen must act fast to save her favorite ghost in this Haunted Bookshop mystery from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle. Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure didn't believe in ghosts-until she met the spirit of hard-boiled 1940s detective Jack Shepard. And when Pen's friend and mailman, Seymour Tarnish, gets into deep trouble, Pen not only believes in her ghost-she also thinks he can help ... An elderly lady of leisure has been found dead on posh Larchmont Avenue, her will recently, and suspiciously, revised to name Seymour as heir to her mansion. Just as eyes turn to him as the murderer-and Seymour gets busy settling into his ritzy digs-the mansion's ghosts begin plaguing him. So he hires a team of parapsychologists to exorcise all the spirits from the town of Quindicott-and that includes Jack Shepard. Now Pen must act fast-because losing Jack scares Pen more than rattling chains and cold spots ... .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
