There’s peril at the Pumpkin Fest in this Maine-set mystery by the New York Times-bestselling author…
Halloween is coming to Tinker’s Cove, Maine, and local reporter Lucy Stone is covering the annual Giant Pumpkin Fest for the Pennysaver. There’s the pumpkin-boat regatta, the children’s Halloween party, the pumpkin weigh-in…even a contest where home-built catapults hurl pumpkins at an old Dodge! But not everything goes as planned.
Lucy’s getting annoyed that her husband, Bill, and his friend Evan have been working seemingly nonstop on their potentially prize-winning pumpkin catapult. But on the day of the big contest, Evan is nowhere to be found…until a catapulted pumpkin busts open the trunk of the Dodge, revealing a deceased Evan.
Bill’s on the hook for the Halloween homicide, so Lucy’s got some serious sleuthing to do. With each new lead pointing her in a different direction, Lucy learns that if she wants to spook the real killer, she’ll have to step into an old ghost story…

All Saints Day In Louisiana : day after Halloween traditions
the French-influenced the inception of All Saints’ Day in the city. Originally known as La Touissant, All Saints’ Day is a traditionally Catholic Holiday where people get together to bid their loved ones farewell as they pass to the other
al traditions include prayer, whitewashing tombs and leaving personalized mementos, beads or flowers. This allows the deceased loved ones to know they were visited. In some ways, it’s considered a duty of the living to do these things. The neighborhood churches will be having special services, fellowship and visiting the graves of love ones.
All Saints day and Day of the Dead is all about remembering those that have gone before us.
Enjoy your week ... Lisa
Hello dear Lisa! Playing catch up after being gone on more travels! I hope it's a cozy foggy Monday. :) And I love the crafts you find and the fun books you find to read! Thanks for sharing them. Blessings on your week ahead. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hope you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThose look like fun crafts, and your book sounds interesting too. Thank you for joining in again, I apologize for not always making it over to comment, but I do read. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteNice crafts.
ReplyDeleteIn the Netherlands, Halloween is not as big or popular as it is in other countries, like the United States. It hasn't really become a part of Dutch culture in the same way.
But for those of you who grew up with Halloween, I get that it feels natural and fun—a yearly chance to dress up, get creative, and enjoy some spooky excitement. Although it’s not as big here, I see why it’s so loved elsewhere!
Ja, here, All Saints' Day is also celebrated, particularly by Catholics. This day, observed on November 1st, focuses on honoring all saints and remembering the deceased.
I like la Toussaint traductions that you have. Not very celebrated here but it is for honoring saints here and remembering the deceased. Great crafts as always. Candy canes... yes for decorating but no to the taste ;)
