Firefly Junction #12
Murder at the Pumpkin Patch
Sunni Taylor's sisters, through their power of sisterly persuasion, have convinced her to host a Halloween costume party at Cider Ridge Inn. She's a little reluctant about the whole event and rightly worried about the actual ghost, who will, no doubt, be in attendance, but she decides to just relax and enjoy it. Of course, you can't have a spooky Halloween party without toothy-grinned Jack-o'-lanterns.
Sunni talks Jackson into spending their day off at a local pumpkin patch. The Riggle Family Farm is famous for its sprawling pumpkin patch and mind-boggling corn maize. Sunni and Jackson look forward to a day in the autumn breeze sipping cider, nibbling on candy corn and choosing the best pumpkins for the party. But when one of the Riggles is murdered, the day off turns into a murder investigation. And once again, Sunni has a front seat to the chaos.

True to the series. Quick easy read

“Murder at the Pumpkin Patch” is another good read in the Firefly Junction series. I can’t believe it’s been 12 books and yet the storylines continue to be fresh and engaging.
This time Edward, the resident ghost of Cedar Ridge Inn plays a big role in the plot. First and foremost, Sunni’s boy toy Detective Jackson has a day off and he wants to spend it with her. Unfortunately, he is none too keen on the idea of spending the day at the local pumpkin patch. With Sunni tow there is never a dull moment especially when she ferrets out that the owner of the farm has managed to keep his sister from inheriting a dime from the farm. However, leave to Sunni to find his body in the corn maze thus ending Detective Jackson’s day off.
Meanwhile Sunni’s good friend wants to bring a notable paranormal expect to look at the inn. While she is not happy about it she knows she needs to appease her friend. When the expert starts spouting some unrelated gibberish about the in Sunni and Edward think their secret is safe that is until he returns and informs them that he is very aware of Edward’s manifestations. Although he assures them he has no reason to reveal their secrets, can he be trusted?
Despite Sunni’s impeccable journalism skills, her boss continues to give her the fluff assignment but fans of this series know that is not about to keep her from investigating and/or revealing key suspects to Jackson. While her boss may not want her input that doesn’t mean Jackson doesn’t.
If you haven’t discovered London Lovett or her Firefly Junction series do yourself a favor and put this on the top of your ‘to read’ list.

Sunni and Brady are trying to enjoy a relaxing day off at the pumpkin patch and hahahahaha. Yeah. A dead body. They get stumbled over (by Sunni usually) far more often than one would think. And seeing as how Brady is the lead detective, there goes the day off.
Now, technically, Sunni's not on this case. She might have been on the scene when the body was discovered, but she's not reporting on it for the paper (thanks, Daaaaaave) and she's only nominally investigating. You know, asking the odd murder-related question while researching the Halloween festivities going on around town.
That said, she is sussing out clues for Brady (because she's a good girlfriend) and sort of following her nose when it comes to suspicious goings on. She's also dealing with a psychic sensitive Raine has brought by the inn and some very real dilemmas about what Edward's existence is going to be like once the inn opens.
A little fall color, a zombie or two, sexy Detective Brady Jackson, ghosts, pumpkins, and a teeny-tiny bit of danger. Heh. Just kidding. Sunni gets into a little more danger than that. As you might expect.

Its Halloween time in Firefly Junction and Sunni decides to have a Halloween party after her sisters convince her to have one at the Inn! Of course, Sunni asks Detective Jackson to go with her to the Riggle Family's Pumpkin Farm to pick out Pumpkins for her party that they can carve.
Unfortunately murder occurs at the farm in the corn maze!
In the meantime Edward is being his usual ghostly self, complaining about the party! However in the end his presence is gladly appreciated when a murderer comes calling at the Inn.
I loved this latest Firefly Junction cozy mystery! It has enough humor, mystery, suspense and of course romance to delight any reader!
I gave this book 5 stars and I would recommend reading this series from the beginning so that like me, you will love to see the same characters and new ones as well.

Enjoyable story
Sunni is always in the midst of a murder investigation. Not much rivalry with Dave Crocket in this story—glad of that. Not much Prudence, either, another good point. I do wonder if she will ever actually open the inn. I hope not, for Edward’s sake. Farmer Jax and Sunni? We will wait and see!

I really enjoyed this book and I love the entire series. The characters are quirky and likable and the setting ideal. Throw in a corn maze, pumpkin patch and Edward, the resident ghost and the book is delightful to say the least. I received an ARC of this book from the author and I'm voluntarily providing an honest review.

Wonderfully entertaining
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this book. The whole plot is so cleverly thought out and the last twist with Edward was hilarious. I could tell that was coming and was full of gleeful anticipation. This series just gets better, I hope it keeps going for a long time.

Literally every time I read a London Lovett book it becomes my new favorite of hers!!! Her writing style and characters just pull you in. Sometimes after reading a boring or not so good book, I immediately reach for a London Lovett book next as I know it will be an amazing story.
I love the interaction between Sunni and Edward! I highly recommend! I feel like I have visited Firefly Junction!

The Great Pumpkin
Oh my! She's done it again. This was wonderful!! It's like eating an ice cream cone. You want to hurry & eat it, yet, when it's gone, you have the feeling 'boy that was great'. I'm ready for another, please🍦

Spooky Fun
Another run romp this time through pumpkin patches and corn mazes. The likeable characters, of both worlds always make for engaging reading. I am always waiting to see just what will happen next.

Cute story
Part of The Firefly Junction series this book continues in the life of a young journalist, her detective boyfriend and her mysterious roommate. Like all cozy mystery women she can’t resist a good murder case. She also lives with her dogs Newman and Redford.

Nice tale
Found this one very good, when you think someone is not who you are worried about, he goes and tells you privately that he can seen your ghost oops. But you learn to trust him, then you nearly get yourself murdered. Are well alls well that end's well. Good book.

If I could give more than five Stars, I would !
Absolutely the best ending ever !
Let me explain- I just returned from a trip to Greece (yes, the country). The joke among some of us on the trip was, 'Where are the Greek Gods'?
Now I have found him, in a book ! ❤️

This is a great book by London Lovett. It had great characters including live in ghost. Sunni helps solve another murder and manages not to get killed thanks to the ghost.

Good mystery
Another good mystery. It started out a bit slow but soon caught up. The mystery was good and the ending was good too.

A good mystery
A good mystery with humor, and a ghost. I like Sunni, Jackson and the ghost Edward. The pace of the story is good. The plot is good. It is an enjoyable read.

Yeah, Edward!
Sunni gets involved collecting clues that lead to killer of the pumpkin farmer.
I loved the red herrings. Or were they?
I highly recommend this series.

Excellent. Really enjoyed the story. I've become friends with
Sunni and Jax. And lest not leave out Raine, Emily or Lana. They make up a great cast of characters. Enjoy.
