The Puppet-Maker's Ghost

A lonely but kind man named Archie Mudwool owns a shop called "Mudwool's Marionettes." He enjoys his quiet happy life carving away in his shop.
But it all changes when the puppet-maker creates a life size puppet for a play at a nearby theatre.
He now has to help the moody ghost of a man from the 1920s solve his own murder. Will Archie be able to hold onto his sanity while attempting to help the ghost haunting his beloved puppet?

Preview:
"It's perfect." I say to myself, having to look up slightly at its face.
I smile, knowing that all my hard work has paid off. The puppet almost seems to smile back at me. Tomorrow I will be handing him off to the director of the show. We made an agreement, I let them use the puppet in their show for no cost but they must promote my business to their audience and give the puppet back when the show is over.

Preview 2 (In case the first one didn't do it justice):
I sigh in relief now that it's over and look over at Alexander.
"You really need to be nicer to strangers." I scold.
He scoffs at me and fixes his sunglasses.
"You're too kind to them." He says as he gets comfortable again.
I roll my eyes and look out of the window.
"Unbelievable." I mumble.
