Cute mystery set in RI, at a bookstore that was a detective agency office in the 40s. Our heroine is an amateur sleuth - but she is assisted by a ghost, a detective from the 40s. Fun premise.
This story is about the author of a tell all book about a society murder. And the author is killed. Then the plot thickens. Very satisfying whodunnit.
