About

Paint store owner Laura Meehan must prove her amateur sleuthing skills (again!) when her small town's public library starts burning in this installment of the Haunted Paint Store cozy mystery series.

Don't mess with a paint store owner's safe haven!

Laura Meehan has her hands full with her paint store, but also with another case (that she will definitely leave to the police to solve)! The Sea Breeze Public Library is burning and it's clear from the beginning that it must be arson.

Who would want to burn a library down and why? Was it a group of moms protesting what they see as inappropriate book content? Maybe it was someone who didn't like a title they lent? Or is there something more alarming going on?

As a library volunteer, Laura simply has to find out, and together with her IT-savvy husband Roy and her ex-detective father's ghost (real or imagined still yet to be determined), she stumbles upon a lot of obstacles on her quest to find the truth-and maybe even an arsonist who might strike again!

A light-hearted cozy mystery with a paranormal twist and Copperman's signature wit, humor, and zaniness. 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.
