Cleo Coyle returns with their sixth book in the Haunted Bookshop series, THE GHOST AND THE BOGUS BESTSELLER. Eager fans have been anxiously awaiting this series. However, this is actually the first time I am reading this series. But as a fan of Coyle's writing style, I found it remarkably easy to get into this series.

Penelope and Jack are back in this delightful story filled with mischief and mystery. What's so special about their relationship is the fact that Penelope owns a bookstore and there is a ghost named Jack Shepard who haunts it. In his previous life, he was a private investigator and now, he helps Penelope solves mysteries in this series.

When Penelope suspects that something strange is going on with a bestseller, she enlists the help of Jack, who is always ready and willing to assist with his humorous charm and smart banter. Despite the fact that Jack is a ghost, he certainly makes a big impression and his presence is one that I definitely look forward to.

In terms of style, this series has a more 1940s feel to it because obviously, that was when Jack was alive. But it also manifests itself in the bookstore as well, so even though the events are happening in the present day, there is a potent, old feel to the book. So, whether you have been one of the loyal fans eagerly awaiting this book or a newcomer, I'm sure you'll enjoy Pen and Jack's antics as they solve this magnificent cold case mystery.
