Beware of all that goes bump in the night…
Sean and Sara McKinley are excited about the haunted house they’ve set up as a Halloween charity fund-raiser, but things take a ghoulish turn when the reporter covering their story is found dead. With the media keeping mum about how she died, Sara’s curiosity is piqued, and she convinces Sean to take on the investigation through their PI firm.
But this case is not without its challenges. The police are actively investigating it, as well, and it’s not even clear that the woman was murdered. It will take a little cloak-and-dagger, dress-up, and finesse for the McKinleys to get to the bottom of it, but they aren’t the kind to give up.
As they troll for leads and work through the skeletons in the reporter’s closet, they unearth a few suspects, but they’ll need to carve out the whole truth if they’re going to find her killer. If they do so fast enough, there might even be time for a little trick-or-treating.
What to expect from the McKinley Mysteries:
Romance. Humor. Murder. Are you looking for a murder mystery without all the graphic violence and foul language? Something that you can enjoy in an afternoon and walk away feeling good about afterward? How about a dash of humor and romance? If so, meet former detectives Sean and Sara McKinley. When a billionaire leaves them all his money, they no longer have to work, but they find themselves sticking to what they’re good at—solving murders. Undercover, off the books, and around the world, they’ll get to the bottom of things…and romance it up along the way.

MY REVIEW
Sean and Sara
McKinley met with Cloe Parsons, a reporter, to do an interview for coverage of
their haunted house charity event. The interview and taping went well, but the
next day instead of seeing their expose on the tv, they discover that Chloe had
died. With all the secretiveness going on, Sara suspects that Chloe was
murdered, and she won’t give up until she finds out the truth.
I loved this
couple. This was the first book that I have read of the McKinley mysteries, but
not the first for this author. Each of Carolyn Arnold’s series’ have been good,
with interesting characters and plots, and this one was as well. Even though I
could tell there was plenty of back story that I did not know, I didn’t feel
lost. It easily stood on its own. It did make me interested in going back to
the beginning of the series though. It’s well worth the read.
