Of course this cozy mystery had my fav in it the VW bus. It was a good story, I felt she kept going back and forth with her hatred for her ex boyfriend but we’ve all been there so there’s that. I liked the diverse characters in the small town who came together to try and catch the real killer while an innocent teenager was in jail. I liked that there was a mayoral race going on at the same time and a Halloween parade with everyone dressed up and you weren’t sure where the true killer was hiding right out in public. Good ending and good start to a series.
