When you live in a town that celebrates Halloween all year long, you’re bound to run into a witch or two. Or a handful of ghosts. And half a dozen werewolves. That’s all part of the fun of living in Pumpkin Hollow. But sometimes you run into a dead witch and that requires a little help from the local police.

Mia Banks and her sister Christy own the Pumpkin Hollow Candy Store and in their spare time, they gather clues to help catch a killer or two. But with Mia’s husband Ethan working for the local police department, they have to be careful they don’t step on any toes. Will they catch the killer before they strike again?

Welcome to the small town of Pumpkin Hollow, where the warmth of family, the nostalgia of Halloween, and delectable homemade candy abound.

Love this cozy mystery series set in Pumpkin Hollow. This one is about a strange lady on the Halloween Parade day dressed as a witch. Most of the town thinks she is a witch. Her name is Nancy Kelly and she is the person whose body is found at her house after the shed caught on fire. Mia and Christy are the amateur sleuths and they do a great job. Mia's husband Evan is a detective. See all the suspect's lined up. It's one of those that you really don't know who done it. As soon as you think you know another suspect comes about. A GREAT COZY MYSTERY READ.

I was glad to see this series continuing now that it's Halloween season again for real. I've read enough of the original series and love how Mia and Christy grew into such good moms and wives. They've got some real keepers as husbands too and their kids are cute but not annoying.

Just when I was sure whodunit, another suspect looked better lol, so I wasn't completely sure until the reveal. It looks like another book in the series releases closer to Halloween, so I'll definitely be borrowing it when it's available.

These never disappoint! They are the perfect little holiday cozy mystery treats! I loved this one, and I'm looking forward to the next one that's coming out later this month. I recommend all of this author's series to those who want light little cozies!
