Fudge Bites

nHalloween on Mackinac Island is a season of fun tricks, but finding a corpse is no treat for fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy . . . n NIGHT OF THE REALLY DEAD n n It's late October, off-season for tourists, but locals are up and lurching for the annual zombie walk charity event. Though everyone's living it up, trouble is just a few pawprints away. Allie follows the bloody tracks of her calico cat, Carmella, to a body in the alley behind the Historic McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop. Unlike the island's other walking dead, this one's flatlined for good. It seems that someone is using the zombie fest as the perfect backdrop for murder. Now amateur sleuth Allie and dreamboat officer Rex Manning must use every trick in their treat bag to unmask a killer in disguise. n n Praise for Nancy Coco and the Candy-Coated Mysteries n n Memorable characters, a charming locale, and a satisfying mystery. n--Barbara Allan n n It's probably best not to read this while you're too hungry, as the assorted fudge recipes may send you right to the kitchen. n --The Oakland Tribune n n I will be counting down the days until the next mystery with Allie McMurphy. n --Cozy Mystery Book Reviews n n Help support pet adoption - see details inside. n n ***Includes an excerpt from Nancy Coco's new and upcoming Oregon Honeybee Mystery series ***n
