The Ghost and the Stolen Tears by Cleo Coyle - Spotlight

 

Today, I’m featuring a spotlight for Cleo Coyle’s latest paranormal, slightly historical, cozy mystery The Ghost and the Stolen Tears.

This post was meant to feature a book review but due to time constraints – and some kindle issues – I’ve not had a chance to review this book.

My first read for Cleo Coyle was The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait, book 7 (!) in The Haunted Bookshop Mystery Series.

I'm hoping to read this book some time this year or in 2023. If I do, I'll update this post with a link. 

For now, check out Coyle’s latest book, The Ghost and the Stolen Tears.

Synopsis:

Norma is a modern-day nomad. Living out of her van and teardrop trailer, she revels in self-reliance, solitude, and reading in the glorious peace of nature. Jovial, wise, and scrupulously honest, she's become an uplifting presence in the little town of Quindicott, Rhode Island, where bookseller Pen is thankful to have her part-time help.

But it's Norma's other job, working as a housekeeper at the Finch Inn, that gets her into terrible trouble. Norma is accused of stealing jewels from a guest's room: the legendary Valentino Teardrops, an antique necklace and earring set, inherited by a young socialite.

Pen doesn't believe Norma is guilty of the crime—though the evidence is distressingly strong. And when the spirited Norma vanishes before her arrest, Pen turns to another spirit...

Jack Shepard, PI, may have been gunned down decades ago, but his memory hasn't been ghosted. Back in the 1940s, those same Valentino Teardrops starred in a bizarre case of betrayal and murder. From the look of things, history is about to repeat. Now Jack is back on the job, and Pen is eternally grateful.
