For those of you who are fans of the Haunted Bookshop Mystery Series, you already know Pen has been on a type of “sleuthing sabbatical” since way back in 2009. That’s a whole lot of time to keep us waiting, but it will be worth it! I’m guessing that you are as excited as I am that Penelope (and Jack Shepard, her bookshop’s 1940s PI) will be returning to us!
That’s right! Cleo Coyle will be releasing The Ghost and the Bogus Bestseller later this year. I can’t wait!
P.S. Thank you, MJ, for telling me about this great news.

Ruth says
I can’t believe it’s been 9 years but Jack Shepard is worth waiting for. The only problem is I’m 9 years older and he hasn’t aged a day. Thank goodness he has a FB page and stays in touch
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ruth, well, isn’t that always the problem with ghosts? Hmm, I guess mystery protagonists don’t often seem to age as dramatically as we poor mortals either, though…
Glen says
I have been looking and looking for this series. I am so glad she’s back! Yipppeeee!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Glen, I’m glad to give you good news!
Lorraine Kennington says
I’m happy to have this series back. The series is built on a great plot structure and I always figured the author couldn’t figure how to continue with the series. I take this news as a sign she has all the details for future books resolved. I’m glad to say I can’t wait to get back to reading abut Pen and Jack!

Lorraine, it’s always a wonderful surprise when an author revives a series that readers think has long since finished!

I just recently found this series and LOVED
It from the very beginning. I’ve just finished reading them and miss the whole gang?
I hope she will continue this series for a long time
Probably my favorite! ?

Try Loretta Ross “Death” (pronounced “Deeth”) and his girlfriend.
Jeff James says
Not a “ghost” mystery but really fun.
