Tricks, Treats and Tragedy
(2025)(A book in the Small Town Halloween Cozy Mystery with Dog series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Harper Lawson loves everything about October in Oakwood Springs—the mountain air turning crisp, her bookstore and dog boutique decorated for Halloween, and the annual Howl-oween Costume Contest that brings the whole town together. But when powerful resort owner Garrett Holloway turns up dead in his private hot springs pool the morning after the Moonlight Monster Mash dance, Harper's peaceful autumn is shattered. With her best friend Miranda facing foreclosure, spa owner Preston dealing with false complaints, and Garrett's estranged daughter Chloe working at Pawsitive Pages, Harper finds herself surrounded by people with powerful motives for murder.
As Detective Liam Shaw investigates, evidence points in every direction. A torn shawl, a suspicious button, Halloween decorations that don't belong, and a maze of contradictory alibis leave Harper questioning everyone she trusts. When she discovers that Garrett was embezzling from his own resort and planning to disappear, leaving a trail of destroyed lives behind him, Harper realizes the killer isn't just someone who wanted revenge—it's someone who was desperate enough to take justice into their own hands. With her border collie mix Boo at her side and time running out before an innocent person is charged, Harper must untangle a web of lies to find the truth.
