Contributor(s):Author: Alice Kimberly Author: Cleo Coyle THE FIRST HAUNTED BOOKSHOP MYSTERY FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR CLEO COYLE--WRITING AS ALICE KIMBERLY ""Part cozy and part hard-boiled detective novel with traces of the supernatural, The Ghost and Mrs. Mc Clure is just a lot of fun.""--The Mystery Reader Young widow Penelope Thornton-Mc Clure 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. Mc Clure 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...  Review citations Romantic Times / Recommended - pg. 93 - 02/01/2004Romantic Times / Very Good - pg. 93 - 02/01/2004Romantic Times / Recommended - Readable - pg. 93 - 02/01/2004
