Description
Book SynopsisThe first in a new Pacific Northwest-set mystery series inspired by the real "Halloweentown!"
Bailey Briggs adores her year-round Halloween-themed town of Elyan Hollow, Oregon. But when she takes over her grandfather?s beloved bookshop, Lazy Bones Books, she accidentally discovers the town?s secret dark side . . .Normally, spooky season is Bailey Briggs? favorite time of year, and her Halloween-themed small town?s time to shine. But between managing Lazy Bones Books, working on her graphic novel-in-progress, and running the Spooky SeasonLiterary Festival, Bailey hardly has a moment to enjoy Elyan Hollow?s spot-on seasonal vibes. Not to mention, at every turn she seems to be tripping over the contentious crew of Gone Ghouls, a ghost-hunting reality TV show currently filming around town. Bailey tries to stay focused on the Lit Festival, which is supposed to kick off Elyan Hollow?s annual Halloween Fair; instead, this year?s festival begins with a murder . . .
It?s bad enough Bailey discovered the victim, but now, as a lead suspect with some (admittedly) damning evidence pointing her way, she?s got to clear her name! With the help of her librarian friend, Colby, and Jack Skeleton, her world-class bookshop dog (and the absolute bestest boy ever), Bailey sets out to solve a murder . . .
As her investigation weaves through family secrets, professional rivalries, and town feuds, the list of suspects is growing fast . . . and unfortunately, so is the list of victims. If Bailey doesn?t find the killer soon, Elyan Hollow?s haunted reputation will get a little too real . . .
