Would you kill to win the Giant Pumpkin Festival?
Retired festival director Rusty Redmond thought she’d traded pumpkin chaos for peace and quiet. But when the Giant Pumpkin Festival’s brand-new drone-carving derby ends in a shocking on-air murder, she’s pulled right back into the spotlight.
With her buff-colored cocker spaniel, Boo, at her side, Rusty finds herself juggling a tangle of suspects: a teen coding prodigy, a rival grower with a grudge, a social media queen, and a charming corporate sponsor with a polished smile and too many secrets.
The mayor’s given her until the lantern-lit finale to help the sheriff crack the case—or risk the festival’s reputation going up in smoke.
Armed with sharp instincts, a lifetime of event-planning savvy, and Boo’s knack for finding clues, Rusty must untangle the sabotage before the killer turns the spotlight—and the danger—on her.

About the author
Sue Hollowell
Hello from the cozy corners of my imagination! If we were meeting in person, you'd probably find me offering you a slice of cake, extra frosting, because life's too short!
I craft twisty tales with quirky characters, picturesque small towns, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market. My stories blend mystery and mirth, with a dash of romance and plenty of fur-baby shenanigans.
If you like your murders with giggles, sleuths with razor-sharp wit, and surprising plot twists—dive into one of my books. Warning: may cause cravings for homemade cookies and the urge to adopt a mischievous pet.View all audiobooks by Sue Hollowell
