The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library by Cleo Coyle, Alice Kimberly
3.0
The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library. book 3 in the Haunted bookshop mystery series by Alice Kimberly.
Thoughts:
I'm not entirely sure about my thoughts, to be honest, but I'll attempt to put them into words, rather than rambling nonsense.
This book was a bit more engaging than the second book, but at the same time, many things we've are already aware of are repeated which seems to slow the flow of the story down.
The mysteries themselves are simplistic which on one hand is a good thing, makes for a light read, but on the other, when the reader can solve the mystery by chapter 3, the rest of the book tends to drag.
Having said that, the most enjoyable part for me, is the relationship between Jack and Penelope it's written in a very Ghost and Mrs. Muir way, not to say, it's a copy, but it has that feel too it, a deep affection that is both a bit sad, but hopeful at the same time. and then of course there is Jack himself that is extremely likable, and written very 3 dimensional. He is probably the only reason I'm interested in continuing on with the series, to find out more about his living past, and his murder.
