Monster Mash Murder

About the book

What could be more terrifying than former CIA agent Merry Wrath’s Scout troop? Perhaps the eeriest Halloween haunted house of all time. The girls have discovered the perfect location for it - a decrepit Victorian with an unsettling presence in the basement that sends chills down everyone’s spine. Tween mayor Ava purchased the house using city funds, much to the dismay of the grumpy city inspector, Gilbert Moody. He is the only person in town unafraid of the troop’s most fearsome member, the notorious Betty. This irritable public servant has the authority to condemn any structure, and he’s willing to exercise it!

Merry has a jam-packed schedule this autumn, with her Chechen brothers-in-law moving in after being kicked out by their pregnant wives, and the troop’s illicit adoption of a broody turkey vulture named Reggie. Adding to her woes, her beloved ice cream parlor, Sugar Lips’ Feeling Lucky House of Delights, has been declared unsafe! Moody would feel her wrath, if he hadn't been killed by zombies inside the haunted house!

Through a perplexing assortment of clues and evading gunfire, Merry must identify the perpetrator swiftly to salvage Halloween!
