When murder strikes in the Tunnel of Love, Erica Bloom has to rock the boat to catch a killer... For a small town like Otter Lake, New Hampshire, the annual Fall Festival is a big deal: a Ferris wheel, corn maze, caramel apples and pumpkin pies—even a Tunnel of Love. Back in her hometown, Erica Bloom is trying to enjoy herself, which includes getting better acquainted with Sheriff Grady Forrester. But when a swan boat sails out of the heart-shaped exit of the tunnel with a dead man slumped over a wing, her own romance will have to take a backseat. PUMPKIN PICKING WITH MURDER Speaking of love affairs, the other passenger in the boat—and only witness to the elderly Mr. Masterson’s swan song—is not his wife. It’s Erica’s beloved and feisty “aunt,” Tweety, who quickly becomes the prime suspect. Vowing to clear Tweety, Erica teams up with her sassy BFF and self-appointed security expert Freddie Ng to solve the murder—despite the objections of Grady, who’s convinced the amateurs are going overboard in their investigation. And he just may be right. But as Erica and Freddie start to dredge up long-kept small-town secrets, will they heading straight into troubled waters? Pumpkin Picking with Murder is the second book in Auralee Wallace's Otter Lake Mystery series!

This is a scary Halloween mini-solo called Killer Pumpkin. This solo was designed to be used with the T&T Rules. SETTING: "As a hobby, I also cultivated an annual pumpkin patch, adding bits of magic potions here and there to help their growth. I was proud of my garden, and spoke about my magic pumpkins all around town, and of the Great Pumpkin that rules them all. I would relate the tale of how, every year on Hallowmas Eve, when the spiritual world encroaches on the substantial, the mightiest of gourds would rise to revel across Kaball (i.e. Trollworld) accompanied by his most ardent worshippers. My neighbors were understandably skeptical, even afraid; after all, no one had ever seen this creature, in my pumpkin patch or anywhere else. I vowed that I would summon him to my back garden, and set out to discover the method to do so." CHARACTER: 4th-6th level (1 or 2 characters). Kindred type used in this solo (Any kin or type). Class type used in this solo (Any).

A fancy Halloween party turns fatal in this mystery that’s “so much fun to read” (Suspense Magazine). Bookstore café owner Krissy Hancock would rather spend Halloween serving pumpkin goodies than wearing costumes with Pine Hills’ wealthiest, especially when the soiree at a local mansion shapes up to be more trick than treat. As if a run-in with an old flame and a failed marriage proposal weren’t enough to horrify Krissy for one night, a woman is found strangled to death in a room filled with ominous jack-o’-lanterns. All signs suggest a crime of passion—but when the hostess’s jewelry disappears, malevolent intentions seem way more likely. With the estate on lockdown and a killer roaming the halls, Krissy must help Officer Paul Dalton investigate each nook, cranny, and guest for answers—while also confronting a few demons of her own. Someone has lots of skeletons in the closet, and Krissy better tread lightly to expose them…

She's a little reluctant about the whole event and rightly worried about the actual ghost, who will, no doubt, be in attendance, but she decides to just relax and enjoy it.
