Death By Jack O Lattern by Alexis Morgan MY Review

 

About the book 
Overcommitted committee member Abby McCree gets in a patch of trouble trying to solve the murder of a pumpkin farmer …

The small town of Snowberry Creek, Washington, is gearing up for the Halloween Festival, and naturally Abby is on the planning committee. As part of her duties, she's picking up a pumpkin order from ornery farmer Ronald Minter. But what she finds instead is the farmer in the middle of his corn maze with a knife in his back.

The police suspect a homeless veteran named Kevin Montgomery, who was seen arguing with Minter when the farmer accused him of trespassing and stealing pumpkins. Abby's tenant Tripp Blackston, a veteran himself who’s been helping Kevin, is sure he’s innocent. Together, Abby and Tripp follow the twists and turns of the case to corner the corn maze killer—before someone else meets a dead end 

And I thought  

I back tracked to read this title. 

The author always pleases. 

I had heard about Tripp's time in the 'hokey' in some of the following  books.  

One of my favorite parts was when Gage brings prisoner Tripp in his orange jumpsuit to clean up leaves in Abby's yard.    

Abby, Gage and Zeke loose patience with Tripp when he refuses to tell Gage and the County Detective where Sargent Kevin Montgomery is. 

 Tripp proves his honor and many other qualities that I cannot think off as he puts himself in dire straits missing his college classes.  Plus he misses Abby's meals.  And meals 'with' Abby. 

Tripp's stubbornness forces Abby to investigate to find out who 'Did In" the pumpkin farmer. 

As Abby zeros in on one suspect  he zeros in on Abby too and begins making threats that cause Abby to watch her back, keep Zeke near and to stay around people. 

But as things drag on she can't  help but 'search' for Sargent Montgomery as she 'innocently' walks Zeke. 

In the end the 'innocent walks'  uncover the real murderer (s) and buried secrets. 

All the mysteries are solved and tidied up just in time for Abby to don a Sherlock Holmes costume for the Snowberry Creek Halloween Festivities.   

Abd to get Tripp out of the hokey in time to dress as GI Joe in has Army fatigues. 

I was glad to get to back track and enjoy this title. 

I enjoyed the YouTube Audio version. 

No one asked me to write this review.

I am also posting on Good Reads and Social Media.

Shadow of the Missing by Lauren Carr

Image
  My Review  I had forgotten  how much I enjoy Lauren Carr's books.  It has been awhile since I have read a Chris Matheson and a Geezer Squad title.  I think one of the best things that Lauren Carr does is including a cast of characters.  Which is important  because there are a lot of characters to keep straight.  There are alot of suspects in Shadows of the Missing because there are alot of victims in this 45 year old cold case.  The main story revolves around the search for Helen Chris's wife's parents.  Helen and her younger sister have memories  from the last time they saw their mom.  Lauren  Carr keeps the reader interested  with multi plots that actually  all weave together  in one main plot.    There are some great regular characters in the series that uncover leads and hidden secrets.  And new characters like Percy  that I suspect might make their way into another title.  I r...
