Haunted Bookshop Mystery #7 Read Kindle PreviewBookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her gumshoe ghost team up to solve the stunning mystery at the heart of a madwomanβs self-portrait in this all new installment from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle. Excerpt Raymond Chandler once wrote that a dead man was the best fall guy in the world because he never talked back. I begged to differ. On the other hand, there was a possibility that the βPI spiritβ haunting me wasnβt real at all. That he was no more than a figment of my fervent readerβs imagination. Any therapist would say as much. βJack is a syndrome,β theyβd proclaim. The gruff, masculine voice in my head was an alter ego, my way of coping with the stresses of modern living. This hard-boiled βghostβ was merely a distillation of all the colorful characters Iβd grown up reading about in my fatherβs library, the kind of spirited soul who was brave enough to speak the kind of frank thoughts that I was too polite to think, let alone permit myself to say. As far as the βstressesβ of modern living, I couldnβt deny I had a few. Being a widow, Iβd endured my share of grief. Now a single mom, I was raising a headstrong boy, who lately enjoyed giving me some. And as a bookseller, well, letβs just say I was still alive, though the twenty-first century sometimes seemed determined to ghost me. βWeβre not dead yet!β my aunt Sadie Thornton liked to declare, usually in a Monty Python accent with a cheeky twinkle in her Yankee eye. Β  The mystery unfolds flawlessly.A Cursed Portrait Opens the Door on Mysteries both Past and Present Another extraordinary cozy mystery by Cleo Coyle!
