Title: Frill Kill
Author: Laura Childs
This Halloween, the bestselling mystery author makes New Orleans even spookier than usual.
Carmela's friend Ava is having a Halloween bash at her scrapbooking store, and she hires a sexy Tarot reader named Giovanni to work the crowd. What he doesn't foretell is that on her way home Carmela will find the body of a beautiful model behind a Dumpster, and be attacked herself. But he's the one who appears to save her-or was he already there?
Giovanni's the number one suspect, but Ava is determined to stand by her employee...even if he does have a way of dodging questions. Ava and Carmela have plenty of other strange leads to follow up, like the tooth marks around the victim's neck, and the non-human hairs found at the scene. As the witching hour draws closer, Carmela must discover what's lurking in the shadows of the French Quarter-or the only thing left to scrapbook will be her death certificate.

Title: The Diva Haunts The House
Author: Krista Davis
Domestic diva Sophie
Winston is getting into the Halloween spirit- her decorations for a
community haunted house are so good, it's scary. Not to be outdone,
rival domestic diva Natasha is throwing a spooktacular Halloween party
at her house. But when Sophie arrives, she discovers one of Natasha's
guests dead in a Halloween display, and a pale, fanged partygoer fleeing
the scene.
Could the killer be a real vampire-the same one rumored to have lived in Sophie's haunted house back when it was a boardinghouse? Good thing a domestic diva never runs out of garlic.

Title: Wicked Witch Murder
Author: Leslie Meier
With planning the
town's annual Halloween Party, the drought wreaking havoc on her garden,
and her brood of four children, Lucy Stone's got her hands full this
fall. As the air turns crisp and the trees blaze red and gold in the
tiny town of Tinker's Cove, Maine, a newcomer arrives who seems to suit
the Halloween season. Diana Ravenscroft has just opened Solstice, a
charming little shop featuring candles, crystals, jewelry, and psychic
readings. But after an unnervingly accurate reading by Diana, Lucy
starts to get more than a little spooked.
Then there's the dead body Lucy finds, way up on one of the old logging roads behind her house. The deceased is identified as Malcolm Malebranche, a seemingly harmless magician who worked at children's birthday parties. When it turns out that Diana knew the murder victim, Ike Stoughton, a prominent local businessman, starts a campaign against Diana, blaming 'the witch' for everything from the unseasonal dry spell to his wife's illness and his pumpkins' lack of plumpness. But Lucy's not so sure that Ike himself is innocent. Still, as the town Halloween party approaches, Lucy's more concerned about the costume competition, pin-the-nose-on-the-pumpkin, and baking three dozen orange cupcakes and Beastly Bug cookies. But as the October moon rises, a killer plans a lethal celebration of his own and Lucy's the guest of honor.
