"The Pumpkin Thief" is the second book in the Chloe Boston cozy mystery series. This charming Halloween story for adults is the perfect holiday mystery read to ring in the season.

Chloe Boston, meter maid and unofficial sleuth of the Hope Falls Police Department, is on the trail of the Halloween Killer and a second troublesome criminal, the Pumpkin Thief, who has robbed every pumpkin patch in town. Aided by her dog, Blue, and new boyfriend, Alex, Chloe is closing in on Hope Falls public enemies 1 and 2.
    "I fell in love with Chloe Boston; she's an enormous spirit in a tiny package, and endearingly human. Go Chloe!"
    --Lisa Cach, author of "Wake Unto Me"
