Dead in the Pumpkin Patch — Connie Feddersen

This Halloween, savvy CPA and amateur sleuth Amanda Hazard is expecting her own little treat. But somebody in town is playing some very nasty tricks...

A LITTLE PUMPKIN ON THE WAY
With her due date only two weeks away, Amanda is ready to do nothing more strenuous than decorate for Vamoose's annual Festival of the Pumpkin. Nettie Jarvis has promised the mom-to-be all the pumpkins she can haul away. But when Amanda heads for Nettie's homestead, she finds the old woman sprawled in the pumpkin patch, her cane tangled with her oxygen tank.

A BIG HALLOWEEN SCARE
Though her Chief of Police husband warns her not to get involved, Amanda vows to unmask the ghoul who murdered the town's biggest gossip. And when Nettie's ghost is seen haunting the patch, people begin to get edgy. The more things go bump in the night, the more Amanda knows she has a tricky one on her hands, and she'd better find the killer before the killer finds her...
