A howling good Halloween turns deadly...
Can one cozy innkeeper sniff out the truth before the killer strikes again?
Halloween is usually all treats and tail wags but this year, the chills are all too real.
Sadie Barton, owner of the Sit, Stay, Sleep Motel and Boarding, is thrilled when a pet costume contest draws a full house of furry guests and festive locals. Costumes sparkle, cameras flash, and spirits are high... until one dog bolts into the nearby forest. When the frantic owner races after their beloved pet, both vanish without a trace. Using one of her half-trained coonhounds, Sadie manages to track down the missing dog, but the owner is nowhere to be found. By morning, the discovery of a body confirms Sadie's worst fear: the dog's escape wasn't an accident. It was a carefully planned distraction, meant to lure the victim into the woods. As the tight-knit town reels from a cold-blooded murder, Sadie can't shake the feeling that the killer is closer than anyone wants to believe. With Halloween decorations still hanging and nerves stretched thin, she'll have to follow the clues, trust her instincts, and listen closely, because someone in town clearly has something to hide. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, small-town whodunits, Halloween-themed reads, and animal-loving sleuths, this charming yet chilling mystery proves that Halloween is supposed to be spooky... just not this deadly.
