Synopsis

Bookstore café owner Krissy Hancock would rather spend Halloween serving pumpkin goodies than wearing costumes with Pine Hills’ wealthiest at Yarborough mansion, especially when the soiree shapes up to be more trick than treat . . .
 
As if a run-in with an old flame and a failed marriage proposal weren’t enough to horrify Krissy for one night, a woman is found strangled to death in a room filled with ominous jack-o’-lanterns. All signs suggest a crime of passion—but when the hostess’s jewelry disappears, malevolent intentions seem way more likely . . .
 
With the estate on lockdown and a killer roaming the halls, Krissy must help Officer Paul Dalton investigate each nook, cranny, and guest for answers—while also confronting a few demons of her own. Someone has lots of skeletons in the closet, and Krissy better tread lightly to expose them . . .

BookLender review by Karen Arnold on 2024-01-24 13:53:29

I couldn't finish reading this book. I found the main character to be very annoying. I love the premise of the book, but couldn't get past her insecurity about herself and found it hard to believe that she'd have the abilty to solve a murder. I hoped it would improve as the book progressed, but I finally just gave up. Time is too short to read something not being enjoyed.
