Despite their well-documented antagonism, famous mystery novelist Barbara Thomas is paired with legendary Ripperologist Henry McHugh as they race against time to try to get one step ahead of the crazed killer.

Young widow Penelope Thornton-McClure and her old Aunt Sadie are making ends meet by managing a mystery book shop - a quaint Rhode Island landmark rumored to be haunted. Pen may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in good publicity - like nabbing Timothy Brennan for a book signing. But soon after the bestselling thriller writer reveals a secret about the store's link to a 1940s murder, he keels over dead - and right in the middle of the store's new community events space. Who gives Mrs. McClure the first clue that it was murder?

But after ten years and a little friendly cajoling from the owner (a fresh pot of Jamaican Blue Mountain was all it took), she's back to the grind. With a sprawling rent-free apartment directly above the Village Blend, her cat Java by her side, and plenty of coffeehouse redecorating ideas, Clare is thrilled to return to work. Until she discovers the assistant manager unconscious in the back of the store, coffee grounds strewn everywhere.

Fantastic as usual
Cunningham has an amazing gift for reading these characters. His vocal acting is a 10 out of 10. The story is charming and gracious and quirky funny with just enough information and action to keep you entertained and interested.

Kept me guessing to the end
As a mystery story, it was excellent, funny, and entertaining. There were enough red herrings to make several characters as potential suspects, but the ultimate revelation was very satisfying.
As a description of what it’s like to be a magician at a magic convention, it was spot on. Recommended for magicians and non-magicians.
