If you love small towns, endearing friendships, food, animals, and a touch of murder, you'll love this cozy mystery series set in the charming seaside town of Holiday Bay, Maine.

In Book 41, autumn arrives with a bang as Holiday Bay transforms into the first-ever Halloween Hamlet, an immersive live role-playing event where ghosts and goblins mingle with the everyday visitors who come to shop, compete in festive contests, indulge in seasonal treats, and dance the night away.

Event planner Piper Halliwell, with help from Abby, Lacy, Georgia, and the rest of the gang from the Inn at Holiday Bay, has packed the celebration with unforgettable attractions, including Halloween Trivia, Ghouls on Parade, and the Monster Mash Mashup. The entire town embraces the spooky fun—until a longtime resident is found dead, and Colt's father, Hank Wilder, becomes the prime suspect.

As Abby works to uncover the truth before an innocent man is arrested, life at the inn remains as busy as ever. Georgia and Haven continue building their partnership, Mylie struggles through the ups and downs of pregnancy, the sale of Colt's parents' home falls apart at the last minute, Hazel celebrates her second birthday, and Bailey is thrown into turmoil when her estranged mother unexpectedly arrives at the inn.

With festive fall fun, lovable characters, adorable animals, and a puzzling mystery, this heartwarming installment is the perfect autumn escape.
