Pumpkin Picking with Murder

When murder strikes in the Tunnel of Love, Erica Bloom must rock the boat to catch a killer to prove her aunt's innocence in this cozy mystery.

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.

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 be heading straight into troubled waters?

"The second . . . Otter Lake Mystery continues to deliver hilarious scenarios that succeed in blending in with moments of serious emotional resonance. . . . Readers will embrace Otter Creek and its quirks, and the delightful characters and clever dialogue never failing to entertain." —King's River Life Magazine
