I just submitted "The Ghost and the Dead Deb" Haunted Bookshop #2 by Alice Kimberly. I read it through, rank spelled it, stripped headers, protected chapter titles, etc. Should be a clean validation. Summary: A HAUNTED BOOKSHOP MYSTERY "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." Don't haunt the customers... This was the only rule bookshop owner and widow Penelope Thornton-McClure had given herresident ghost, hard-boiled PI Jack Shepard. But when the hot young author Angel Stark arrives at the store to promote her latest, a true crime novel, Jack can hardly contain himself. After all, this is his specialty! Angel's book 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. Natasha and Guide Dog Fossey "I want to be successful like everyone does, but through my idea of success. I don't just mean that I will make a lot of money and be known for what I do, but that I make a difference in someone's life." -- Megan Piontek 1985-2008 {{Miss you forever}}
