Hazel and Anthony Ray are a great crime-fighting team along the Sherrif, his niece Violet, and Hazel’s assistant Michael. This is a great group of characters they have a wonderful way of working together to solve the crimes. I really loved that this book takes place at Halloween it really put in the spirit of the season. Along with the wonderful and entertaining characters the mystery is well paced and has enough twists and turns to keep me interested and guessing until the end.
I recommend this book to cozy mystery enthusiast. I was given an ARC of this book in hopes I would supply a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced.
Photographer Hazel Hart has been hired to be the official photographer for a ghost tour of the “Massacre Mansion”. Over a hundred years ago, a horrible massacre took place and the family and household staff were killed by an axe murderer. What could be more spookier for a Halloween fright night?!

Late at night while filming the mansion, one of the ghost hunters is murdered alone in a locked room and everyone seems to be blaming it on an evil headless ghost.

This is the seventh book in the Hazel Hart cozy mystery series, but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. The book is a perfect combination of mystery and suspense intertwined in a wonderfully written story with likable, whimsical, and dimensional characters. If you like small town mysteries that are filled with non-graphic murders, loveable characters, clean romance, and well thought out storylines, then you will love this series.
Purrfect book to read for light-hearted easy to read Halloween mystery. Sorry had to use the Purrfect.
Do you believe in ghosts and paranormal or are you a skeptic like Hazel? Are you like Tess and Maureen? Love what Tess says at the end of the book about her and Hazel.
Full of ghosts, haunted mansion, skeptic, believers and the lock room mystery. I figured out the locked room mystery. Fooled by who done it though.
I love that Anthony Ray gets to go and help solve is his unique manner. I think i might be falling for him.
Do not worry if you have not read previous books ,this can be read by itself easily.
This is my honest and freely given review. I received an ARC book.
