A Waffle Lot of Murder — Lena Gregory

For diner owner Gia Morelli, her seasonal fall menu calls for two main ingredients -- maple syrup and murder . . .

While the first hints of autumn grace Boggy Creek, Florida, Gia misses the colorful harvest traditions she left behind in New York. On a scramble to make new fall memories -- and promote her irresistible pumpkin spice waffles -- things take a dark turn when she gets roped into the Haunted Town Festival, a spooky celebration held on deserted farmlands. The desolate area conjures plenty of eerie vibes at night, but Gia and her best friend, Savannah, are nearly frightened to death upon the discovery of the event organizer's body buried in the nearby woods. More alarming, the local rumor mill says the woman's shady dealings may have egged someone into sending her to an early grave. Now, there's no shortage of creepy clues to feast on as Gia and her pals try to stop a killer with a very scary appetite . . .
