By: Kathleen Suzette

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

All I wanted was a large cup of coffee with a double shot of espresso to wake myself up on my way to work. The dead body was completely unnecessary.

Sweets can be deadly, and when local bakery owner Stella Moretti becomes the next victim in Pumpkin Hollow, Mia Jordan is on the case. Can she and her boyfriend, Officer Ethan Banks, find the killer before there's another victim? Sweets can be deadly all right, but that's the way the cookie crumbles...

Welcome to the warmth and charm of Pumpkin Hollow, where you'll find a family-owned candy store, loveable characters, and a dead body or two. Pumpkin Hollow Mysteries are clean cozy mysteries without paranormal elements.
