Crafts and Life

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 …

Phew! the second in what I hope is a long lasting series and this is as much of a puzzle, nay maze, as the first, which leads to ignoring everything else just to keep turning the pages!

Abby McCree is still up to her ears (at least!) in committees and her tenant Tripp has just landed her with another, granted this isn't really going to take off until the New Year but some prelim work still needs to be done, she finally agrees IF Tripp will be co-chair, after all it is to raise funds for Veterans, but before all that kicks off she still has to cope with the other committees she is on, one of which has her driving herself and her late Aunt's friend (also now Abby's friend) to the pumpkin farm owned by a rather irascible farmer, with the rain starting to come down Abby gets Glenda to stay in the car while she hunts down Ronald Minter, she eventually finds him but she isn't going to be asking him for pumpkins any time soon … unless she uses a Ouija Board! Now the County Sheriff is on her case, along with Gage and Tripp and then Tripp is arrested.

So time to put her organisational skills to work and figure out who the killer is so she can get Tripp out of the local jail cell and back home where he belongs (after all her Mastiff cross is missing him).
