It's 1998, Halloween is days away, and it's a momentous time for Portland's magenta bookmobile. The Internet is a growing force in the world. With libraries and bookstores alike bleeding patrons to nascent online booksellers, intrepid librarian-on-wheels Hester McGarrigle hatches a plan to rescue her beloved book bus. Joining forces with Portland's local mega-bookstore, Hester brings best-selling authors from across America to book signings aboard the bookmobile. All goes famously until a superstar futurist who draws throngs meets a haunting fate nobody predicted. Hester and her dishy, trail-running main squeeze, Detective Nate Darrow, can't seem to find anybody in Portland who isn't a suspect. Here's a fun weekend read with high-tech suspense, cop-shop humor, sizzling librarian romance, even wild parkour antics on a soaring suspension bridge. It's all wrapped up in the colorful Halloween season. (Can you guess Nate and Hester's contest-winning costume? Or which detective dresses up as the Pink Panther?) Grab a mug of cider and a bowl of mini Snickers and enjoy the wickedly bumpy ride in this satisfyingly quirky finale of Portland Bookmobile Mysteries.
