For diner owner Gia Morelli, her seasonal fall menu calls for two main ingredients—maple syrup and murder . . . While the first hints of autumn grace Boggy Creek, Florida, Gia misses the colorful harvest traditions she left behind in New York. On a scramble to make new fall memories—and promote her irresistible pumpkin spice waffles—things take a dark turn when she gets roped into the Haunted … gets roped into the Haunted Town Festival, a spooky celebration held on deserted farmlands. The desolate area conjures plenty of eerie vibes at night, but Gia and her best friend, Savannah, are nearly frightened to death upon the discovery of the event organizer’s body buried in the nearby woods. More alarming, the local rumor mill says the woman’s shady dealings may have egged someone into sending her to an early grave. Now, there’s no shortage of creepy clues to feast on as Gia and her pals try to stop a killer with a very scary appetite . . .

Once again there was a murder in the small community of Boggy Creek. Gia Morelli said she had no personal stake in this case and wasn’t going to get involved this time. Of course if information came her way she’d pass it on to her boyfriend/police chief. Asking some questions wouldn’t hurt either. So, you can see where this is going but then it did become personal and Gia charged full steam ahead. Apparently the victim had dirt on on pretty much everyone in Boggy Creek so the suspect list is long and secrets abound.
This story has a wide range of characters from those you love to love to those you love to hate and the plot is quite engaging. Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for an ARC. The opinions expressed are my own.
