''The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait'' by Cleo Coyle is a paranormal cozy mystery novel, originally published on May 4, 2021. It is the seventh book in the [[Haunted Bookshop Mystery by Cleo Coyle (series)|Haunted Bookshop Mystery]] series.
'''Bookshop owner Penelope Thornton-McClure and her gumshoe ghost Jack Shepard team up to investigate the self-portrait of a "madwoman".'''
 
 
 
While gathering a collection of vintage book cover paintings for a special event in her quaint Rhode Island bookshop, Pen finds a spooky portrait of a beautiful woman. Disinherited Henrietta McClure was crazy, according to town gossip. Seymour, local mailman and ''Jeopardy'' champ, falls in love with the haunting image and buys the picture. He refuses to part with it, even as fatal accidents befall those around it. Is the canvas cursed? Or is something more sinister at work?
 
 
 
For answers, Pen turns to an otherworldly source: Jack Shepard, PI. Back in the 1940s, Jack cracked a case of a killer cover artist. To Pen's relief, his spirit is willing to help her solve this mystery, even if he and his license did expire decades ago.
