A small town in Nevada is caught up in Halloween—and homicide—in this series full of "intriguing, likeable characters [and] keep-you-guessing mysteries" (Tracy Weber, Agatha Award nominated author of Murder Strikes a Pose).

It's Halloween season in Serenity, Nevada, and Tj Jensen is busy working at her family's lakeside resort, teaching and coaching her students, and caring for her much younger half sisters—not to mention carving twenty-five pumpkins for the annual pumpkin festival.

But when Tj finds her good friend Zachary dead in his favorite chair—and the handsome new deputy closes the case without so much as a "why" or "how"—Tj must turn her attention from chili cook-offs and shopping for princess costumes to complex puzzles, prophetic riddles, and a decades-old secret she seems destined to unravel . . .

"Daley's characters come to life on the page. Her novels are filled with a little mystery and a little romance which makes for a murderous adventure." —Tonya Kappes, USA Today–bestselling author of Fixin' To Die
