reviewed on + 988 more book reviews


Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure didn't believe in ghosts -- until she met the ghost of hard-boiled 1940s private investigator 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. Pen must act fast, because losing Jack scares Pen more than rattling chains and cold spots...
