I have been hooked on this series since the first book, and this latest addition definitely has me hooked even more. The setting is similar to other books of the same genre, small town, mystery, murder, but where the author is really standing above the rest is with really interesting unique, engaging characters, and a writing style that makes it the mystery easy to follow but impossible to guess. This is a series that is something you want to read again and again and this latest installment is perfection.

Halloween festivities have begun in Oriole point and a Harvest Health Fair has come to town, along with several Health and Beauty experts. The Sable family has a huge presence in the health and beauty space and while most people are excited to have them headlining the fair, the town eccentric fears for her life with them in town. When a mysterious man comes looking for this local resident and he is found dead in the woman’s yard, Marlee begins to believe the woman’s fears are valid.

While trying to balance Leticia the Lake Lady’s fear with her conviction for the murder of the Sable family’s old nanny, Marlee finds herself earning the wrath of the Sable family when they believe she is aiding and supporting Leticia, who is harassing their family. Can Marlee find Letiicia before the murderer does, or will she be next herself?

Solid writing and characters with a strong whodunit that leaves you guessing exactly whodunit and why. This is the first book I have read by this author and while it is book four in the series, references to past events do not leave any gaps for a new reader. I’ll be reading the first three books to catch up before the next book in the series is released.

Description
Autumn has arrived on the shores of Lake Michigan, but Marlee Jacob, proprietor of The Berry Basket, is feeling a chill for other reasons …

With the Harvest Health Fair in full swing, Marlee makes sure to stock up on elderberry products for cold and flu season. But this year there's also a run on mulberry when an eccentric customer wants to use the dried berries to ward off evil forces. True, it's almost Halloween, but something else seems to be spooking Leticia the Lake Lady, Oriole Point's oddest resident. She believes someone plans to kill her—and the ghost. Only mulberries can protect them. Marlee doesn't take her fears seriously until a man named Felix Bonaventure arrives in the village, asking questions about a mysterious woman.



The next day, Marlee finds Bonaventure dead on Leticia's property—shot through the heart with an arrow made of mulberry wood. And Leticia has disappeared. Marlee soon learns the Lake Lady has a deadly past that is connected to the famous Sable family who are in town for the health fair. A bunch of clues start to come together—and figuring out what's going on puts Marlee in a real jam …
