The Ghost and the Dead Man's Library

Praise for the first Haunted Bookshop Mystery

The Ghost and Mrs. McClure

“A deliciously charming mystery with a haunting twist!”

—Laura Childs, author of Motif for Murder

“Part cozy and part hard-boiled detective novel with traces of the supernatural, The Ghost and Mrs. McClure is just a lot of fun.”

—The Mystery Reader

“A charming, funny, and quirky mystery starring a suppressed widow and a stimulating ghost…He is hard boiled in the tradition of Philip Marlowe and she is a genteel Miss Marple; yet the two opposites make an explosive combination. Alice Kimberly definitely has a hit series if the first book is anything to go by.”

—Midwest Book Review

“What a delightful new mystery series! I was hooked from the start…I adored the ghost of Jack…Pairing him with the disbelieving Penelope is a brilliant touch.”

—Roundtable Reviews

“Quindicott’s enigmatic townspeople come alive in this quirky mystery and readers will eagerly anticipate future installments—and the continuing easy banter and romantic tension between Jack and Penelope.”

—Romantic Times

“Ms. Kimberly has penned a unique premise and cast of characters to hook us on her first of a series.”
