About the book
There’s peril at the Pumpkin Fest in this Maine-set mystery by the New York Times bestselling author…
Halloween is on its way to Tinker’s Cove, Maine, and Lucy Stone, a local reporter, is busy covering the annual Giant Pumpkin Fest for the Pennysaver.
The festivities include the pumpkin-boat regatta, the children’s Halloween party, the pumpkin weigh-in, and even a contest where homemade catapults launch pumpkins at an old Dodge. However, things take an unexpected turn.
Lucy is frustrated that her husband, Bill, and his friend Evan have been tirelessly working on their pumpkin catapult for the contest. But when Evan goes missing on the day of the competition, Lucy discovers his body after a catapulted pumpkin smashes open the Dodge's trunk.
With Bill accused of the Halloween homicide, Lucy must now embark on a serious investigation. As each clue leads her in a different direction, Lucy realizes that in order to unmask the real killer, she will need to delve into an old ghost story.
