Podcasts, Pretenders & Pumpkins

By Fran Heap

They wore masks long before Halloween.

The pumpkins are carved. The town is decorated. The annual Jack-o'-Lantern Walk is set to begin in Willowcroft, but Halloween this year comes with more than just candy and costumes.

When true crime podcaster Rowe Harvey rolls in for the Tunnel Museum opening, she's not just chasing a story, she's digging up a legacy of lies. But before she can hit publish, Rowe is found dead the morning after the town's Halloween festivities, and the small town's secrets start unraveling faster than a cheap costume.

Tammy Rumbelow never planned to become a sleuth. But with her cat Lockie at her heels and a group of amateur sleuths by her side, she's drawn into a web of old grudges, hidden identities, and whispers that echo through the town's Prohibition tunnels.

Everyone has something to hide. The question is-who was pretending to be a friend... and who was pretending not to be a killer?

Warm, witty, and full of twists, Podcasts, Pretenders & Pumpkins is a cozy mystery that proves in a town full of secrets, the truth wears many faces.
