A Celebration Bay Mystery
BY SHELLEY FREYDONT
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The author of Independence Slay invites readers back to
Celebration Bay for Halloween festivities with more tricks
than treats…
This October in Celebration Bay, you can’t swing a black cat without hitting a haunted house. There are three finalists in the contest for the town’s official Haunted House, and ten thousand dollars will go to the winner, with the rest of the contributions and proceeds funding a new community center. Event coordinator Liv Montgomery has invited her friend Jonathan Preston, the debonair CEO of a philanthropic organization, hoping he will award a grant to the center.
But after the Museum of Yankee Horrors wins first place, the transformed Victorian boarding house is vandalized … and among scattered mannequins of Hester Prynne, Lizzie Borden, and the Headless Horseman, a real dead body is found—one of the contest judges. Now in addition to playing host to Jon, Liv has to play detective and coordinate the clues to unmask a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner.

In her Bio, she talked about a puzzle always being left on a table for the guests. Wish that I trade jigsaw puzzles with her. I remember the puzzles being left on the table for people waiting to be called for jury duty in downtown LA. That was fun!

I've always enjoyed haunted houses but fortunately I haven't found an actual body in one. It would be fun to read about, though.
