"The Haunted Bookshop" is a charming and suspenseful bibliomystery that serves as a sequel to the beloved "Parnassus on Wheels." Set in Brooklyn shortly after World War I, the story follows the eccentric and well-read Roger Mifflin, who has traded his traveling book caravan for a permanent brick-and-mortar shop called Parnassus at Home. The "haunting" in the title refers not to spectral entities, but to the lingering spirits of the world's greatest authors that inhabit the shelves of Mifflin's establishment.

The plot thickens when a young advertising man named Aubrey Gilbert becomes intrigued by the shop and its proprietor. What begins as a gentle exploration of the book trade soon transforms into a high-stakes mystery involving a missing volume of Carlyle, a beautiful young assistant, and a dangerous international conspiracy. Christopher Morley masterfully blends a cozy literary atmosphere with elements of a spy thriller, all while celebrating the profound power of literature and the joys of the bookselling profession.

Rich with philosophical musings on the importance of reading and the soul of books, "The Haunted Bookshop" remains a timeless tribute to bibliophiles everywhere. It offers a captivating glimpse into early 20th-century New York and the enduring magic found within the pages of a well-loved volume.
