Description:
Bar Harbor, Maine, is quieter in the off-season, but the population has just increased a bit with the arrival of Ted and Trudy Lancaster. Ted’s taking over for a retiring minister, and Trudy runs a food truck called Wicked ’Wiches. When she stops in at the Island Times office to place an ad, Hayley happily devours the sample sub Trudy offers—and the two become fast friends.
When Trudy tragically dies in her truck while catering a Halloween party, suspicion falls on a cranky, competitive caterer who’d made veiled threats to Trudy. But the case becomes more complicated when Hayley’s husband admits he’d seen someone dressed as a witch hurrying away from the food truck—not very helpful when countless women at the party wore the same costume. Now Hayley finds herself sandwiched between witches and witnesses as she considers a smorgasbord of suspects. If she finds the killer, she’ll be a local hero . . .
My Thoughts:
Hayley and Bruce and company are getting ready for Halloween when Hayley meets Trudy who runs a food truck and everyone soon is falling in love with her sandwiches. When Trudy gets sick and winds up in the hospital people start to wonder if something is going on? Then the minister whose about to leave starts acting really weird around Trudy Hayley wonders what is going on with the local priest.
At a Halloween party where Trudy is serving her food someone else has decided to serve Trudy something. Trudy winds up dead and people are wondering who killed her. Was it her husband whom she was having problems with? Or the local priest who was acting love struck around her or someone else?
I love this series it's was one of the first one's I read I was so engaged in the writing style and it being told with Hayley and her friends who are fabulous. They always crack me up like no tomorrow. This one didn't disappoint especially as we got to see Gemma as a grown woman now instead of a teenager. I can't wait to see what is next in this series!
