Pumpkins are Murder

By Teri Barnett

Halloween has never been this deadly.
PUMPKINS ARE MURDER by Amazon Bestselling Author Teri Barnett
IT ISN'T HALLOWEEN IN BIJOUX...
Every autumn, the lakeside town of Bijoux, Michigan, embraces its reputation as the most haunted town on the Lake Michigan shoreline with the annual Pumpkins and Poe Festival-a celebration of Edgar Allan Poe, Halloween, and all things delightfully spooky. Pumpkin carvers from across the country descend on Bijoux to compete for carving glory. But when one contestant is found murdered with a jack-o'-lantern over their head and a note bearing a single chilling word-Nevermore-Police Captain Morgan Hart is once again called to investigate.

...UNTIL THE PUMPKINS AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS GETTING CARVED
With Halloween festivities in full swing, Morgan and her disciplined deputy, JJ Jones, must keep panic from spreading through town while hunting a killer hiding behind masks, costumes, and Poe-inspired mischief. Meanwhile, Caleb Joseph-the maddeningly handsome owner of the Raven's Nest bookstore and former Gothic literature professor-can't resist inserting himself into yet another investigation, much to Morgan's frustration. As trick-or-treaters fill the streets and the body count threatens to rise, Morgan must uncover the truth before Bijoux's favorite Halloween tradition becomes a killer's ghoulish masterpiece.
