Review of 'Death by Pumpkin Spice' on 'Goodreads'

Our heroine Krissy has been invited to attend a Halloween Party at the mansion of the recently departed Howard Yarborough's mansion. Howard's interest lay with the macabre and decorated his mansion accordingly -- the perfect place to hold a Halloween party... and a murder.

I enjoyed the book but found Krissy to be annoying at times, taking unnecessary chances (that turned out to be in the nick of time during more than one occasion). Be that as it may, it was a fast, decent read, but honestly, no great shakes.

Definitely pick it up as part of your Halloween reading (I love reading Halloween books during the Halloween holiday), but it's probably not worth it any other time of year.

A so-so 3.5 stars
