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.
