Haunted Bookshop Mystery #2: The Ghost and the Dead Deb - Alice Kimberly

A Brief Description from the Web Page:
This was the only rule bookshop owner had given her resident ghost, hard-boiled private eye Jack Shepard. But when the hot young author Angel Stark arrives at the store to promote her latest—a book of true crime—Jack can hardly contain himself. After all, crime is his specialty. Angel's books is an unsolved mystery about a debutante found strangled to death. And it's filled with juicy details that point a finger at a number of people in the deb's high society circle. But when the author winds up dead too—in precisely the same way—Pen is fast on the case...which means Jack is too. After all, a ghost detective never rests in peace.

My Thoughts on The Book:
This book brought another aspect to the Pen and Jack relationship, mainly that when she dreams at night she goes into Jack's life before he died. It really makes for a interesting break in the murder mystery they are currently working on, but also gives Pen some tips on how to be a Private Investigator. This book also introduces some more characters that we only briefly met in the first book. The "Quibble About Everything Group" as Pen's Aunt Sadie calls them are made up of Pen, Aunt Sadie and the other business owners of Quindicott. Together they ban together to solve the mystery of Angel Stark's death, along with another murder victim.
