HALLOWEEN CUPCAKE MURDER by CARLENE O’CONNOR
With Galway’s Halloween Mystery Tour only a few days away, Tara Meehan is scouring the town’s curiosity shops for spooky decorations to draw tourists into her architectural salvage store. But when a stranger appears in her shop bearing a cryptic cupcake and an ominous message, Tara suddenly finds herself tangled in a mystery with ancient Gaelic roots, but very modern—and very deadly—consequences . . .
MRS. CLAUS AND THE CANDY CORN CAPER by LIZ IRELAND
Christmastown is pulling out all the stops for their Halloween celebration, planning a huge carnival with rides, games, and a candy corn-themed bake-off! But the sweet theme stokes the bitterest of rivalries amongst the elves, until tragedy strikes at Santaland’s newest bakery. The only clue is a cupcake, leaving Mrs. Claus to sort through tricks and treats as she races to unmask a Halloween fiend . . .

Every October, Salem plunges into a month-long celebration of Halloween and WICH-TV’s Lee Barrett can’t wait to cover the festivities. But rumors swirl after a wealthy bakery owner goes missing—and his beloved cat, Cupcake, is found—under mysterious circumstances. Now, amid Salem’s wicked revelry, Lee must conjure clues to reveal the missing millionaire . . . or the truth about his disappearance . . .
My Review:
I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via NetGalley.
Halloween Cupcake Murder:
This read reminded me of a Father Brown story. It was a quick and enjoyable read.
Mrs. Claus and the Candy Corn Caper:
I didn’t care for this story. It took everything in me to finish it.
A Triple Layer Halloween Murder:
This was hands down my favourite story in the book. I feel like this could’ve been a novel in itself, I know I’d read the full length. The only issue I had was there were characters being called by the wrong name.
Overall, this was a great and quick read, I enjoyed most of the book and I would definitely go back and reread again.
My Rating:
