Nothing like a nice, spooky Halloween story. Ellie is back in town from the opening of her new pizzeria in Florida. Missing her Nonna, she tries staying busy by putting up Halloween decorations and planning her wedding. One evening something happens that makes her begin thinking about the supernatural. I really enjoyed this book!

Ghosts on Halloween!!!!!!

I love this book, I tripped me up on whodunit. This series is great, Patti puts a lot in these pages that keep you guessing. The best part is no gross, gory murder scenes and no graphic sex scenes. They are good clean mysteries.
I love the characters in this series, it's like I'm a neighbor that knows everyone in the small town.
Ellie is now in the house alone with her pets, and things still seem to find her.
Blackmail, ex's, married people, tapes and desperation can drive you on the wrong path.
You will like this also. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Ellie is back in town just in time for Halloween. She’s busy decorating the house and preparing this weeks specialty pizza. After a busy day she’s ready to relax but as she’s taking lasagna out of the oven she sees a woman staring in her back door window. By the time Ellie turns around she’s disappeared. When she speaks to Russel the next day she discovers the woman she saw in her window has been dead for several days. Is Ellie seeing a ghost?

Ellie has returned from Florida and trying to adjust to life without her Nonna in the house. She is looking forward to Halloween and has wedding preparations to keep her busy. A few days after her return a murder takes place yards from her home. Her fiance is very worried for her safety and wants to solve this crime quickly.
I enjoy this series very much and always recommend it. While this book could stand alone, I suggest you read from book one. The characters are well developed and the plot moves along at an even pace. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Good 5- star read

A great well written read from Patti Benning for Halloween. A murder happens in the woods behind her house and Ellie sees a ghost of a woman behind her house. No one believes her, until Ellie finds herself face to face with a killer. One fantastic Halloween read.

Ellie sees someone in her backyard that looks like the murdered woman . The mystery deepens and ends with a surprise ending.

Ellie is home from opening the new store in Florida but when she is making dinner she sees a lady standing outside her kitchen door. Is it a ghost or something more human.

Another great read. I love the series and the characters and am really looking forward to the wedding.

Almost the end

Ellie always has some close calls, but this one almost ended her. Thank goodness for her, what at one time she thought was a ghost, turned out to be the sister of the girl who died saved her.
