Editorial Review:
Penelope Thornton-McClure manages a Rhode Island bookshop rumored to be haunted. When a bestselling author drops dead signing books, the first clue of foul play comes from the store'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 likable, fedora-wearing specter the only hope Pen has to solve the crime?

Rating: - Couldn't put it down!

Rating:  - Cute! About three and a half stars
It was a cute mystery. Although, I had the culprit pegged from very near the beginning, it was still an entertaining read in a light fluffy way. I just couldn't really feel much depth to the characters. There was a lot said about their past and feelings, but it didn't follow through to create a real sense of the character. The interaction between Mrs. McClure and the ghost were amusing, but I think more depth to the ghost would have gone a long way to giving more depth to the entire book. The ... Read More
