"Death of a Halloween Night Stalker (Haylee Powell Food & Cocktails Mystery)" doesn't fit as a title. There really isn't a stalker in this one. There also isn't much of a mystery either. This one is more Halloween trapped in a creepy house with a killer during a storm cozy thriller. There isn't anything but how to get out safely to figure out. Almost a third was unrelated Halloween stories and recipes I skipped.

"Halloween Night Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery)" has Lucy deep in some serious local political scandal investigating. A teen out trick-or-treating is the victim of a hit and run and Lucy gets involved with the care of his siblings. Leading down a rabbit hole of political corruption similar to what is in real world politics now. It also brings up domestic abuse and the extreme views pushing back at policy currently.
