A Corpse at the Witching Hour

Hope Early has to contend with ghosts, a fatal curse, and a decades-old family secret to catch a killer in the new Food Blogger Mystery . . . When her best friend's Aunt Issy falls ill, food blogger Hope Early agrees to help him hand out Halloween candy at his aunt's house, which is rumored to be cursed. A murder-suicide took place there a century ago, and legend has it that a woman has died there every twenty years since-on Halloween. Hope doesn't really believe in curses or ghosts, but when all the trick-or-treaters are gone and she discovers a woman's dead body on the front lawn, she wonders if the curse might be real after all. Then Hope and her friend discover a cache of love letters linking the dead woman to Aunt Issy's husband years ago, and Hope is certain they've uncovered the motive for murder-and the police are certain Aunt Issy is their main suspect. Determined to prove Issy's innocence and nab the real culprit, Hope starts shaking other branches of the family tree. But she forgets that Halloween isn't the only day people hide behind masks, and if she's not careful, Hope will come face-to-face with a ghoulish fiend who's not afraid to kill again . . . Includes two tasty recipes!
