Publisher Description
The third in the fabulous cozy mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award-winning author Ellen Byron.
Welcome to the Bon Veeevil Festival of Fear! Prepare for the spookiest night of your life . . .
It's Halloween in New Orleans, and the staff of Bon Vee Culinary House Museum is setting up a fantastic haunted house tour for their visitors. But when flashy movie star Blaine Taggart and his entourage move into the mansion next door, gift shop proprietor Ricki James-Diaz gets a fright of her own.
While Ricki is excited about the potential business the tours will bring to her vintage cookbook shop, she's less thrilled by former friend Blaine's arrival in town. Then Bon Vee's prop tomb becomes a real tomb for Blaine's nasty assistant, and suddenly everyone at Bon Vee is a murder suspect. There isn't a ghost of a chance one of them committed the crime, but with NOPD busy tackling the mischief and mayhem generated by the spooky holiday, it falls on Ricki and her friends to catch the killer.
As the Big Easy gears up for the Big Scary, it seems everyone has skeletons in their closets. Can Ricki reveal the shadowy killer before someone else becomes part of the Halloween horror show?
Customer Reviews
Halloween opened the doors to the ghosts of Ricki’s past
Halloween opened the doors to the ghosts of Ricki’s past, and they brought murder and mayhem with them. I love Ricki. I adore the quirky, zany, unique cast of characters that surround her. But I think what I love best about this series is the way the author keeps me guessing with every page I turn. I was never able to out-think the mystery. And every time I thought I had a good theory about what was going on, the tables would turn, and my “good theory” would go up in a puff of smoke. The solution made perfect sense, but still blindsided me. Now that Ricki has a couple more answers about her life, I can’t wait to see where the author will take her next.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book from the author through NetGalley.
