Synopsis: There&’s peril at the Pumpkin Fest in this Maine-set mystery by the New York Times-bestselling author… Halloween is coming to Tinker&’s Cove, Maine, and local reporter Lucy Stone is covering the annual Giant Pumpkin Fest for the Pennysaver. There&’s the pumpkin-boat regatta, the children&’s Halloween party, the pumpkin weigh-in…even a contest where home-built catapults hurl pumpkins at an old Dodge! But not everything goes as planned. Lucy&’s getting annoyed that her husband, Bill, and his friend Evan have been working seemingly nonstop on their potentially prize-winning pumpkin catapult. But on the day of the big contest, Evan is nowhere to be found…until a catapulted pumpkin busts open the trunk of the Dodge, revealing a deceased Evan. Bill&’s on the hook for the Halloween homicide, so Lucy&’s got some serious sleuthing to do. With each new lead pointing her in a different direction, Lucy learns that if she wants to spook the real killer, she&’ll have to step into an old ghost story… &“Series fans should be satisfied.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Reading a new Leslie Meier mystery is like catching up with a dear old friend.&” —Kate Carlisle
