This is the second in the seriest and does a nice job of developing the characters just a bit more -- particularly the relationship between Jack and Penelope. Just a tiny bit of spark developing in a very interesting way. Loved it, and the mystery was interesting, too!

Not bad, but not great either. Like the first in the series, the mystery itself was pretty good but the interaction between the ghost and Mrs McClure was a bit unrealiztic and hokey. I really liked the ghost's personality though. He was a real, hard-boiled 1940's P.I. One of those tough talking, mean city streets kind of guys that you use to find in all the old mystery novels. It was nice to find out a bit more about him.

What a delightful series. It blends the 40s and the present in an interesting way. The Ghost is much more developed in this second book in the series. It's a fun and easy read. I recommend it.

I liked this one better than the first one, Penelope is less uptight in this one, and I found the mystery more interesting. I recommend this one over the first one.

I really enjoyed this 2nd in the series. Liked the plot & also the development & interaction between the main characters, Penelope McClure & Jack Shepard.

Will definitely continue with the series.
