Christopher Morley's The Haunted Bookshop is a charming literary mystery set in the world of books, ideas, and quiet intrigue.
Roger Mifflin, the eccentric proprietor of a Brooklyn secondhand bookshop, believes deeply in the power of books to shape the minds and character of those who read them. His shop, filled with dusty volumes and literary conversation, becomes the unlikely center of a mystery when strange visitors, coded messages, and suspicious activities begin to appear among the shelves.
Alongside his practical and perceptive assistant Titania Chapman, Mifflin soon finds himself drawn into a curious plot involving political intrigue, espionage, and hidden dangers lurking behind seemingly ordinary events. As the mystery unfolds, the quiet bookshop proves to be far more adventurous than its peaceful appearance suggests.
First published in 1919, The Haunted Bookshop blends gentle humor, literary reflection, and light suspense. The novel continues the story begun in Morley's earlier work Parnassus on Wheels and remains a beloved tribute to the pleasures of books, reading, and the life of the mind.
