The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library (Wheeler Large Print Cozy Mystery) Paperback – Import, 21 March 2007

Nice, easy read that keeps you guessing. I am enjoying the character development as well.

I have been reading the series and find them really entertaining amd unusual with Jack the Ghost helping Penelope the book shop owner solve the murders. This is set in the modern day but you get an insight as to what the 1940's were like when Jack takes Penelope back to his era when she is asleep to help solve their crimes. There's humour, mystery and the characters are very diverse. I'd really like to see a film 🎥 made from the books as I can imagine it would go down very well with people who enjoy this kind of genre.

Penelope and Sadie are given a complete set of Phelp's Poe books. As their employee is unpacking the box he finds something which point to a puzzle in the books. But is it true? Why all the deaths related to these books? Penelope is arrested and has to set out to clear her name and solve the mystery with the help of Jack and her friends.I enjoyed this book. I like that Jack had a case similar to this one and shows Penelope how to solve the mystery. I felt the mystery was well done. It kept me enthralled. I wanted to know if the puzzle existed and what was the solution. I also wanted to know who the murderer was. I am loving this series and cannot wait to read the next one.

Querky, keeps you guessing, good story line.Great fireside read.

C'est un bon roman policier pour ceux qui aiment le mystère, l'humour, le fantastique, tout cela doublé d'une intrigue littéraire autour d'un trésor lié à Edgar Allan POE. Attention, ce n'est pas un polar, même si l'héroïne est une libraire qui est spécialisée dans la vente de romans policiers. C'est plutôt une intrigue à la Agatha Christie. Et elle est toujours double : à la fois on suit l'histoire qui se passe de nos jours, et ont suit une enquête soixante ans auparavant, menée par le détective fantôme qui aide l'héroïne, et qui lui fait vivre les cas qui vont lui permettre de mieux résoudre son problème.Le suspense est haletant et on a envie de connaître la suite jusqu'au dénouement final.C'est le meilleur volume de la série qui en compte cinq pour l'instant.
