The characters get better and better! The mystery was so well done and I didn't even come close to guessing who the killer was!

This book was fun yo read. I like a good copy mystery especially when it deals with holidays. It dealt with Halloween. One of the best parts is thee was food involved. This book was approved by netgalley and the publisher for me to read and review.

Been sick, so this book and others kept me entertained during recovery. Love this little lighthouse bakery, haunts and all. Wonderful characters, great setting and well written. Halloween theme is the icing on this cake.

This is the 4th book in the series and I was a little lost with the various characters but the mystery itself is stand-alone.

This was my first Darci Hannah book but it won't be my last. I'm already planning on starting at the beginning of this series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Kensington Books.

Book 4 in Darci Hannah's Beacon Bakeshop is a great cozy mystery. Was good to be back in the world of Lindsey Bakewell and friends.

Every cozy mystery series, it seems, has to have a Halloween edition. It makes sense— murder goes well with spooky, but, inevitably, the Halloween book is always my least favorite. I don’t care much for spookiness or the occult, so the light haunting of the lighthouse was a stretch for me, but ghost hunters, clairvoyants, and mediums took it a step too far for me. The characters and story continued to be charming and compelling, but this was my least favorite of the series so far.

I enjoyed this book. Parts of it are definitely spooky, and some parts are scary. The story is intriguing. The identity of the killer is a mystery until the end. #MurderatthePumpkinPageant #NetGalley

Halloween, a haunted lighthouse and murder. Lindsey Bakewell’s Halloween starts with mannequins being hung in a tree at her lighthouse home and bakery. She’s tired of the shenanigans and is told by the local realtor Betty to speak to a high school teacher, Leslie Adams. Meanwhile, Kennedy sets up a ghost investigation of the lighthouse with a tv crew for her vlog. While running from the investigation, Kennedy runs into a body hanging in the tree. Lindsey, Kennedy and Lindsey’s boyfriend Rory try to figure out the murderer and the reason for the crime.

This was the first book I’ve read in the A Beacon Bakeshop Mystery series. I adored it. I will go back and read the rest of the series but this can be read as a standalone. I love the characters especially Welly and Trixie. The mystery was written so I believed many times that I knew who the murderer was only to be proven wrong. Great writing, fun story, perfect setting.

Lindsey Bakewell is getting her bakery ready for Halloween, but she’s not anxious for the season to bring out the ghost hunters who believe the lighthouse she lives in is haunted. She’s only reluctantly letting her friend and podcaster, Kennedy to host a live ghost hunt on Halloween night. Lindsey isn’t afraid of ghosts, she’s afraid people will learn that her ghost is real. But things take a sinister turn when Lindsay discovers that the creepy clown hanging in the tree by her house is no dummy…… A fun series for those who like their mysteries on the cozy side
