Book Synopsis
Mabel Aphrodite Brown is looking forward to her favorite holiday—Halloween. But while she and her best friend, Lurleen, are dreaming up treats and innocent fun, someone else is concocting a perfect plan for murder!
In late October, Ditie and Lurleen attend a mystery book club given by a new-found friend. The evening turns sinister when a guest sees something terrifying outside a window and is murdered the same night. Lurleen feels compelled to protect her friend from a crime that twists and turns like a skeleton dangling in a storm.
Is the murderer seeking revenge for old crimes or new ones? Do the tarot cards reveal the truth or hide it? So many clues don’t seem to connect. Can Ditie and Lurleen find the missing link before anyone else gets hurt? And what about Mason Garrett, Ditie’s new husband and an Atlanta detective? All he wants to do is keep Ditie safe, and that’s no easy task when Lurleen is sniffing out a murderer.
