The Ghost Goes to the Dogs

A Haunted Bookshop Mystery, Book 9

By: Cleo Coyle

Narrated by: Traci Odom

A stray dog leads bookseller Penelope McClure and her gumshoe ghost on a chase for a clever killer in this brand-new entry in the "utterly charming" (Mystery Scene) Haunted Bookshop Mysteries from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle.

Pet Mystery Week brings brisk business to Penelope's Rhode Island bookshop, but a real mystery comes barking at her door when a lost dog turns up in a panic. Pen and her son Spencer follow the furry fugitive to a wooded area where the dog's owner lies unconscious. Mrs. Cunningham is a warm-hearted widow who volunteers at the animal shelter and runs Buy the Book's pet lovers book club. Why would anyone shoot such a sweet soul?

The police believe it's an accident, a shot by a careless deer hunter, but Pen remains skeptical. To straighten out this doggone mess, she whistles for the ghost of PI Jack Shepard, an expert in hounding as well as haunting. Jack has a dog story of his own, a case from the 1940s that may help Pen sniff out clues to her present predicament. Yet even with Jack's hard-boiled help, Pen may not be able to stop the killer from striking again or letting this whole case go to the dogs . . .

Fun as usual

I do enjoy these stories. Jack the ghost is a trip. The trouble Penny gets herself into is a little much sometimes, but I do love Quindicott.

Love this series

I really enjoy this series. Penny and Jack solve mysteries and murders with help from their friends. No gore or sex. Just funny, lighthearted mysteries.

I enjoyed this even more than the rest!

This ended up being one of my favorites in the series. As a few others said with a different narrator I didn't think I was going to be able to get through it, but I kept listening passed the third... fourth... chapter and as it went on and on I got so used to this narrator that it didn't really matter that it wasn't the original two. I really think the awesome story helped it to not be such a big deal. I think both the author and the narrator did a wonderful job and I will definitely listen to it again and again!! Give it a shot, you'll be pleasantly surprised!!

Another amazing book!

I loved everything about this book! Cleo Coyle had done it again, imaginative story line and keeps you guessing until the end! I can't wait for the next one!!

Jack and Pen do it again

Love this series! My only complaint is it was over too soon! I look forward to the next installment. And I love everything Cleo writes.
