<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her gumshoe ghost team up to solve the stunning mystery at the heart of a madwoman's self-portrait in this all new installment from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Cleo Coyle.</b> <p/> While gathering a collection of vintage book cover paintings for a special event in her quaint Rhode Island bookshop, Penelope discovers a spooky portrait of a beautiful woman, one who supposedly went mad, according to town gossip. Seymour, the local mailman, falls in love with the haunting image and buys the picture, refusing to part with it, even as fatal accidents befall those around it. Is the canvas cursed? Or is something more sinister at work? <p/> For answers, Pen turns to an otherworldly source: Jack Shepard, PI. Back in the 1940s, Jack cracked a case of a killer cover artist, and (to Pen's relief) his spirit is willing to help her solve this mystery, even if he and his license did expire decades ago.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait</b> <p/> An Aunt Agatha's Best of Year Pick <p/> "UTTERLY CHARMING" --<i>Mystery Scene</i> <p/> "Cleo Coyle has written another knockout cozy-noir hybrid that's sure to satisfy fans of this TERRIFIC SERIES." --<i>Criminal Element</i> <p/> The collision of two cases from different times elevates this haunting tale..." --<i>Kirkus Reviews<br> </i><br> CAPTIVATING...Jack is a perfect match for Pen, and I adore the relationship between them. --Dru Ann Love, award-winning reviewer, <i>Dru's Book Musings</i> <p/> Another EXTRAORDINARY cozy mystery by Cleo Coyle!
