Synopsis

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.

I quickly bonded with Laura. Copperman has the knack of depicting difficult and painful life events through the lens of a protagonist, who tends to deflect their pain through humour. It’s something a lot of us do. But it means that while still giving the subject sufficient emotional heft and respect......more

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC I picked up All Spooked Up hoping for a zany cozy mystery with a ghostly twist, but it felt more like slogging through a corporate memo. A policeman named Hannibal Watson should’ve been a playful nod, but instead it pulled me out every time I read it. That moment set......more

All Spooked Up by E.J. Cooperman is the debut of A Haunted Paint Store Mysteries. I anticipated a fun, paranormal-themed cozy mystery. While reading All Spooked Up, I felt like I was wading through quicksand and slowly sinking (I wondered if I would ever reach the end of the book). The narrative unf......more
