Synopsis

As if a run-in with an old flame and a failed marriage proposal weren't enough to horrify Krissy for one night, a woman is found strangled to death in a room filled with ominous jack-o'-lanterns. All signs suggest a crime of passion—but when the hostess's jewelry disappears, malevolent intentions seem way more likely . . .

With the estate on lockdown and a killer roaming the halls, Krissy must help Officer Paul Dalton investigate each nook, cranny, and guest for answers—while also confronting a few demons of her own. Someone has lots of skeletons in the closet, and Krissy better tread lightly to expose them . . .

Goodreads review by Jen on January 15, 2019

Caveat: I listened to the audiobook version of this story on my daily commute, so that may have given me a different perspective. I had hoped for a light and fun cozy cat mystery based on the cover. What I felt that I got was run on mental chatter from a very insecure female lead character who appear......more

Goodreads review by Clare on October 26, 2019

Maybe the author would have done better to write this as a stage play. The coffee shop and bookshop at the start, are fine, a brief insight to the daily life of our protagonist.
