A Brief Description from the Web Page:Jack Shepard didn’t have much use for books when he was alive. Now that he's dead, he has even less interest in the crate of dusty old tomes that arrive at the bookshop he’s been haunting. Penelope, on the other hand, is thrilled with the delivery. The rare old Poe library was willed to her shop by an elderly admirer of her aunt Sadie’s. The dead man’s library is so valuable that Pen is inundated with astronomical offers for every volume in the set. Everything appears rosy, until Pen begins to sell the books, one by one…and one by one each buyer dies. The police don’t believe Pen’s theory—that these deaths are linked to the rare book purchases. In fact, the police don’t believe these deaths are murders at all. Pen, of course, knows differently, which means it’s time to persuade her hard-boiled haunter to stop resting in peace, start cracking some clues, and make sure this twisted Poe freak kills...nevermore.
My Thoughts on the Book:
The third book in the Haunted Bookshop Mysteries was a real great read. Not only was it a murder mystery but it had the characters trying to figure out the Edgar Allen Poe mystery as well. Again the "Quibble Over Everything" Gang were involved with trying to figure out who was behind all the murder before anyone else was murdered. Although my favorite aspect of the whole book was when Pen goes back in time Jack to learn about his case, than they go out for a nice evening of drinks. After that Jack is always telling Pen he could take her out for a nice night on the town in her dreams. Pen and Jack's relationship has gone even further in this book, it seems as though they are almost falling in love. Although Jack is dead, I would think they would make a great couple. Since Jack died back in the 1940's that might be a little bit hard/weird.
