Some legends are better left buried in the corn.

Fall has arrived in Bluejay Ridge, and Betty Benino is ready for crisp air, harvest festivities, and a special visit from her grandchildren. But when mysterious cackling drifts through the town’s corn maze, an old local legend—
the Cornfield Cackler—suddenly doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched.

The wheels fall off the apple cart when a body is found among the cornstalks.

Has the old legend come to life? Betty starts digging for the truth. Because whatever—or whoever—is haunting the cornfield, she’s fairly certain one thing is real: a killer is hiding in Bluejay Ridge. And her grandkids areright there.

Cackles in the Cornfield is the fifth book in the Betty Benino Mystery series. Each mystery can be enjoyed as a standalone, but readers who like to follow Betty, her family, friendships, and life in Bluejay Ridge may want to begin with the first book, Mayhem in the Mulch.
