Candy Corn Murder by Leslie Meier
4.0
In the 22nd book of the series, Bill Stone is the main suspect when a man who was working with him was found dead. His name was Evan and he and bill were building a catapult for the town of Tinker's Cove Halloween contest.
While everyone in town was excited about the contest, there were things going on that indicated problems were going on behind the scenes. For one thing, Lucy, Bill's wife hated the fact that Bill and Evan were working together. Meanwhile, there was a lot of sabotage happening to some of the early preparation going in.
The big day comes, and Evan is nowhere in sight, and before long, his body is found in the trunk of a car. Will Lucy, part-time reporter, wife and mother, and also the town's resident amateur detective, find out what happened to Evan so that Bill doesn't end up in jail? The deeper Lucy digs to prove Bill's innocence, the more she finds out that something deeper was going on related to the town's past.
After being rather disappointed in the previous book in the series, I am pleased that this book led me down a different path. Candy Corn Murder was intriguing and busy enough that I was kept interested throughout the book and satisfied with the conclusion.
