The Haunted Bookshop
Christopher Morley
Roger Mifflin’s bookshop is no ordinary store. Tucked away in Brooklyn, The Haunted Bookshop doesn’t sell ghost stories—it’s haunted by the spirits of great literature. When young advertising man Aubrey Gilbert steps inside, he expects a simple business transaction. What he finds instead is a world of intrigue, wisdom, and unexpected danger.
The eccentric yet sharp-witted bookseller, Roger Mifflin, lives for books, but something unusual is happening in his quiet shop. A valuable book disappears without a trace, and Mifflin insists that sinister forces are at play. Aubrey, skeptical but intrigued, is drawn into a literary mystery that will test his intellect, courage, and even his heart. Meanwhile, a charming and independent young woman, Titania Chapman, enters the picture, challenging societal expectations and proving that bookshops might be the perfect setting for both romance and adventure.
Set just after World War I, The Haunted Bookshop is both a celebration of literature and a thrilling mystery that explores the power of books in shaping minds and lives. Morley’s clever dialogue, literary references, and sharp social observations make this a delightful read for bibliophiles and mystery lovers alike.
A charming blend of mystery, romance, and literary passion—perfect for fans of classic bookshop tales and intellectual adventure!
