The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, Book 5

By: Cleo Coyle

Narrated by: Caroline Shaffer, Traber Burns

When the local mailman inherits a haunted house and demands an exorcism, Pen must act fast to save her favorite ghost in this Haunted Bookshop mystery from New York Times best-selling author Cleo Coyle.

Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure didn't believe in ghosts - until she met the spirit of hard-boiled 1940s detective Jack Shepard. And when Pen's friend and mailman, Seymour Tarnish, gets into deep trouble, Pen not only believes in her ghost - she also thinks he can help....

An elderly lady of leisure has been found dead on posh Larchmont Avenue, her will recently, and suspiciously, revised to name Seymour as heir to her mansion. Just as eyes turn to him as the murderer - and Seymour gets busy settling into his ritzy digs - the mansion's ghosts begin plaguing him. So he hires a team of parapsychologists to exorcise all the spirits from the town of Quindicott - and that includes Jack Shepard. Now Pen must act fast - because losing Jack scares Pen more than rattling chains and cold spots....

Love it!!

I really love the whole scenario and the humor between the scary but I really wish that she will towed because what she felt that probably hear you but it was very nice I like it

A fun listen!

I get a kick out of the haunted bookshop books. It’s quite entertaining! Fun stories are pretty good! Performer’s aunt Sadie voice is strongly reminiscent of Jean Stapleton in Edith role on All in the Family, (with a touch of Sandra Gould as Gladys Kravitz in Bewitched) Jack Shepard’s voice, speech, and funny lines are great!

the voice

I love shaffers smooth voice she does not annoy the soul. the story is awesome

Liking the series so far

While each of the books in the series are structurally similar, the various mysteries keep things interesting. Seymour is a bit over the top in this one, but it was still very enjoyable.

I Was Nervous!

This one had my teeth chattering! Once again, Penny solves another one. But this time I like how Jack stayed quiet and let her take the rains on solving the mystery. As always, Seymour was funny with his one liners.

Fun story & Amazing reader

Loved the back and forth between two eras and the quotes at the start of every chapter. Loved the ghost, Jack, and the clear way it was written. Also kudos to the reader who had to do so many voices. I was convinced it was two readers until later in the book.
