Description
Paint store owner Laura Meehan makes the discovery of a lifetime in her shop when she stumbles upon a body and . . . her dead father's ghost! This brand-new Haunted Paint Store Mystery has Copperman's signature wit, humor, and zaniness aplenty!
Dealing with her father's recent death, Laura Meehan decides to move back to her New Jersey hometown and take over the paint and wallpaper store he opened after quitting his straining job in the police. Knowing that she is uprooting her own and her supportive husband Roy's lives, she's determined to continue her father's legacy and keep the business alive. But that doesn't seem to be the only thing alive when Laura discovers that her store is haunted by none other than her deceased father! Either that or Laura has finally lost her mind and developed Ghost Traumatic Stress Syndrome . . . When she discovers the body of the town's deadbeat painter Ernie on top of all that, Laura is determined to find the culprit who's rudely used her store as their murder scene, with the help of her ex-police detective father's ghost--real or not, Laura might as well make use of his expertise! It turns out Ernie owed a lot of money to a lot of people. Could one of them have reached breaking point and killed the freeloader? A lighthearted, fun, and quirky cozy mystery with an intriguing paranormal twist. Perfect for fans of Copperman's Haunted Guesthouse Mysteries and Cleo Coyle's Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, as well as funny and cozy mysteries by Janet Evanovich, Elle Cosimano, and Amanda Flower.More details

E.J. Copperman is the nom de plume for Jeff Cohen, writer of intentionally funny murder mysteries. As E.J., he has written the Haunted Guesthouse and Agent to the Paws series, as well as the Jersey Girl Legal Mysteries, the Fran & Ken Stein Mysteries, and the new Haunted Paint Store Mysteries; as Jeff, he has written the Double Feature and Aaron Tucker series; and he collaborated with himself on the Samuel Hoenig Asperger's Mysteries.
A New Jersey native, E.J. worked as a newspaper reporter, teacher, magazine editor, and screenwriter before his first book was published to critical acclaim in 2002. In his spare time, Jeff is an extremely amateur guitar player, a fan of Major League Baseball, a couch potato, and a crossword addict.
