The Ghost and the Haunted Portrait by Cleo Coyle
Did not finish book.

Things I enjoyed - I loved the details about the vintage pulp fiction covers. I also love ghost stories and being transported to the past with Jack.
Things that did not work for me - I couldn't get into the story. There was no pull for me to need to know what was going to happen. The reason for diving into the mystery immediately on finding the body was weak, and the story just felt slow moving. I also couldn't stand the bickering between two of the MCs from the start of the story.
Note - this is the first book I've read in this story, so maybe I'm missing some background or previous attachment to the characters, but I just didn't feel any interest in them.
