The Ghost and Mrs. McClure by Cleo Coyle
4.0
The Ghost and Mrs McClure is the first in the paranormal cozy mystery series by Alice Kimberly.
Penelope McClure and her son are settling back in her home town after the death of her husband. She's co-owner of her aunts bookstore now, and trying to turn a profit. Unfortunately her first author on your turns up dead and the police are pointing their fingers at her and she must solve the murder before she's arrested!
I don't usually read paranormal cozy mysteries but if this book is an indication to this great sub-genre I need to read more.
I really enjoyed this first book. I liked Penelope and the relationship she develops with the ghost-in-residence, Jack. They are the perfect combination of sweet and snark and it's a delight to watch the interactions.
The murder mystery was really good and kept me guessing to the end. With the combination of interesting town folks and a background of the bookstore, it was a great read.
If you like cozy mysteries that centre around a bookstore I strongly recommend this series.
