Death by Pumpkin Spice
Death by Pumpkin Spice | Alex Erickson
Bookstore caf owner Krissy Hancock would rather spend Halloween serving pumpkin goodies than wearing costumes with Pine Hills wealthiest at Yarborough mansion, especially when the soiree shapes up to be more trick than treat . . . As if a run-in with an old flame and a failed marriage proposal werent enough to horrify Krissy for one night, a woman is found strangled to death in a room filled with ominous jack-o-lanterns. All signs suggest a crime of passionbut when the hostesss jewelry disappears, malevolent intentions seem way more likely . . . With the estate on lockdown and a killer roaming the halls, Krissy must help Officer Paul Dalton investigate each nook, cranny, and guest for answerswhile also confronting a few demons of her own. Someone has lots of skeletons in the closet, and Krissy better tread lightly to expose them . . .

For day three of the #hauntedshelf book scavenger hunt and Hot Drinks it‘s this book from my tbr! I‘m loving the spice isle bakery series of cosy mysteries so much I really want to read more when I‘m done with them.

Checking some things off my fall bucket list. I always try to make a new pumpkin recipe each fall and this year it was pumpkin pie rice Krispy treats. They‘re good but the texture is a little soggy. #bucketlist #scarathlon2023 #scarathlon #mischiefandmayhem

Krissy is invited to a Halloween party and a murder occurs. The murder mystery is fine the MC is not. Krissy is annoyingly insecure, she believes jealousy equals love, she is being stalked by an ex boyfriend and is fine with that -so many things I did not like about the MC.
Only finished story due to incredible word search count in this book!👻

Make a great day everyone 🎃

AnnR A nice review! 🎃 I'll skip this one. Cozies that are overly cozy and have silly/immature characters aren't appealing reading. 14mo
bthegood @AnnR exactly! 🙂 14mo
FlynnDewey At least you got *something* out of it lol. The word hunt has been a nice addition. 13mo

Tonight I made a homemade pumpkin spice lip scrub and I love it! I‘m always buying lip scrubs from Lush, so I thought why not make one myself, one appropriate for this time of year. I‘ll be doing this every fall from now on!

Yuki_Onna 😆 The only complaint about pumpkin spice you will ever hear from me is that you can hardly get it here in Europe at all. I'm addicted since my first trips to North America 😋 and I can't find any pumpkin spiced stuff back here... 2y
Cazxxx @Yuki_Onna I feel the same living in the UK. There‘s such a lack of pumpkin spice products here! 2y

I am not a fan of #pumpkin or pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie or really pumpkin anything—taste & smell. 🤢 Apple is my fall flavor of choice, but I do respect my pumpkin-loving friends‘ choices. 😁

I have not read the tagged book, I just liked the title.

Avanders I hope you had a good Halloween! 🧡🎃🖤 Trunk or treating was a bust for us 🥲 but we were able to do some *trick* or treating, which he loved 🥰 3y
vkois88 @Avanders trunk or treating was a littttle overwhelming for her. So we went home and made cupcakes instead! We didn‘t go trick or treating, since our neighborhood doesn‘t really do much, and it was a school night. She was really tired from Saturday still. But it was a good weekend! I‘m glad you all had fun trick or treating!! 3y
Avanders Aww but it‘s nice that there was enough for you there for overwhelming to be a possibility… we had the opposite problem … no one else there! That‘s why we went trick or treating (a very little) as well 😁 Making cupcakes sounds perfect! 🧁💜 3y

Little confession, I don't love Pumpkin Spice Lattes all that much, but I will eat all the pumpkin goodies (my niece makes some amazing pumpkin pasties). The tagged book is on my TBR for this month, but I didn't love the first two books... still gonna read it though!

#HelloThursday
Fall Edition

🍂I call the season autumn.
🍂I love pumpkin bread.
🍂I like both corn mazes and hayrides. Maybe hayrides are a little more fun.
🍂Yes. There is an apple farm a couple hours away from where I live. It‘s a favorite fall activity for my family.
🍂Yay, pumpkin spice! But more in love with it when it feels like a special thing...finally pumpkin bread, finally pumpkin soup... not pumpkin flavored Kit-Kats.

wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! 🍎🍁🌻 6y
TheKidUpstairs I agree 100% with your pumpkin answer! I don't want to see pumpkin everything, always. But a delicious pumpkin baked good on a crisp fall day? Heck yes! 6y
AJones I didn‘t know there was a pumpkin flavored kit kat!?! That sounds weird. 6y

1. Usually Fall, unless I'm in snooty intellectual mode, then Autumn.
2. Pumpkin Cheesecake
3. I do want to do a corn maze some day. Hay has got to be one of the most uncomfortable things anyone ever decided to sit on.
4. I don't see the point of paying for the privilege of doing manual labor. I'd rather pick avocados anyway.
5. In moderation. I enjoyed PSL years before it before it became so damn trendy.

Reading this was like watching an episode of Scooby-Doo. It was exactly what I expected and nothing more. Completely unrealistic, silly fluff. And that's fine by me. It was definitely cute and fun, but I don't see this being my go-to gene too often. Maybe just occasionally when I'm looking for something cute for a specific holiday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rachellynnwright Maybe you could consider reading Agatha Christie! Her mysteries are intriguing and not fluffy (in my opinion) but really enjoyable! I consider the woman a genius. 7y
GypsyKat @Rachellynnwright I have read some of her books and loved them. I'll be reading Halloween Party this month. When I said that it wouldn't be my go-to genre, I was specifically talking about the cozy mystery genre. 7y
