The Ghost and Mrs. McClure by Cleo Coyle, Alice Kimberly
5.0
A very good cozy series, get more!!
***********
Above was my review from 2007 when my daughter was wee and i didn't really have much time to write reviews let alone read many books.
I wanted to start the series again to refresh my memory and get ready for the newest. And to renew my crush on Jack Shepherd.
I like Cleo Coyle, I've been a fan of the Coffeehouse mystery series for a long while. That said, I am a bigger fan of the Haunted Bookshop series. I like cozies and paranormal, so this is the perfect mix. Plus characters I really like and want to learn more about. And there's Jack Shepherd, the ghost of the private investigator who was killed in what is now the bookshop back in the late 40s. I enjoy his manner and the way he thinks and talks. His description is pretty delightful too.
I really like how this series begins in this book. Penelope thinks she's going a bit wack-o or under too much stress when she hears the voice of Jack in her head. The reader gets to watch their relationship and co-existence grow and become accepted.
It's a wonderful mystery with fun characters.
I can definitely recommend this book, series and author.
