Halloween, Hound, & Housesitting: A Katie & Maverick Cozy Mysteries Short Story

Katie Wilk is beginning to wonder why she offered to housesit at the spookiest old place in town. Well, the answer is simple—she needs the money. Then she learns she's expected to host the annual Halloween costume party because the heirs to the place don't actually come around very often. It's all right, she learns. She can invite her own friends, so at least she feels she'll have some moral support. But the old house is full of tricks and a series of puzzling clues that need to be solved in order to find a killer. Katie and Maverick have their work cut out for them!

"I thoroughly enjoyed this debut book by Mary Seifert! This well written and thoughtful story kept me engaged with fun characters, interesting information and mind and math puzzles. Looking forward to book two!" James, 5-star review

"Fun read! The author has an authentic voice and has done her research. The plot covers many topics: dogs, history, the inner workings of hospitals, family dynamics, and more. I especially enjoyed the puzzles and little-known historical facts that were part of the story. Maverick, Movies & Murder kept my interest and left me wanting more. Highly recommend!"
