About the book
Lucy Stone has a lot on her plate this fall, from planning the town's annual Halloween Party to dealing with the drought in her garden and taking care of her four children...
As autumn arrives in Tinker's Cove, Maine, the newcomer Diana Ravenscroft opens a shop called Solstice, which offers candles, crystals, jewelry, and psychic readings - perfect for the Halloween season. A chillingly accurate reading from Diana leaves Lucy feeling uneasy...
Things take a sinister turn when Lucy discovers a dead body up on the old logging roads near her home. The victim, Malcolm Malebranche, was a magician who performed at children's parties...
Local businessman Ike Stoughton launches a campaign against Diana, accusing her of causing various misfortunes in town. Lucy begins to suspect that Ike might have something to hide. Meanwhile, as the Halloween party approaches, Lucy is focused on the festivities, like the costume competition and baking treats. But as the full moon approaches, a dangerous killer plans a deadly event - with Lucy at the center of it all...
