Publisher's Synopsis
October is Murder
Fall brings Oktoberfest and Halloween to Possumwood, Texas, and retired homicide detective PC Donovan is there for it. She's still caring for her mama's critters and giving the PPD a helping hand as needed. Her dance card is filled with Oktoberfest at the Biersal Brew Pub, the famous ghost tour at Happily Ever Afters, and their lavish Halloween Ball at the end of the month. But her beer tour goes off the rails when the newspaper editor ends up headfirst in a vat of lager, and no one has the ghost of an idea how he got there. Even though he's new in town, he's been brewing trouble for a fair number of the townsfolk, leaving a sour taste in everyone's mouth. PC hops into action, trying to bottle up the killer before the case goes flat. The newspaperman's past is shrouded in mystery, and PC searches the skeletons in his closet to scare up some clues. Will this be the case that breaks the crime wave gripping Possumwood?
