The Haunted Bookshop

Aubrey Gilbert visits the Haunted Bookshop in an effort to market his abilities as a commercial copywriter. In spite of his failure he discovers that Titania Chapman the attractive daughter of his most significant client works as a store assistant. When Aubrey comes back to meet Titania he encounters a string of bizarre occurrences including an assault on his way home from the shop the inexplicable disappearance and reappearance of a book and the sighting of two strange figures lurking in a nearby alleyway. Roger Mifflin the outgoing owner of the bookshop is first the person Aubrey suspects of hatching a plan to abduct Titania but the scheme he ultimately discovers is far more intricate and diabolical than he could have ever anticipated. The Haunted Bookshop is a delightful homage to the craft of bookselling wrapped inside a gripping suspense narrative that mystery and book enthusiasts both must read.
