Monster Mash Murder - (Merry Wrath Mysteries) by Leslie Langtry (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

What's scarier than ex-CIA agent Merry Wrath's Girl Scout troop? How about the spookiest Halloween haunted house ever? And the girls have found the perfect place to hold it-a disturbingly dilapidated Victorian with something in the basement that gives off some serious we're-all-gonna-die vibes. Tween mayor Ava bought the house with city funds, which has drawn the ire of grumpy city inspector, Gilbert Moody. Who also happens to be the only one in town who is not afraid of the most terrifying Girl Scout in Merry's troop, the infamous Betty. This cranky civil servant has the paperwork to condemn any building, and he's not afraid to use it!

Merry's got a horrifyingly full plate this fall, from her Chechen brothers-in-law moving in with her after their pregnant wives kicked them out, to the troop illegally adopting a sullen turkey vulture named Reggie. And now her favorite ice cream parlor, Sugar Lips' Feeling Lucky House of Delights has been condemned! Moody would be feeling her wrath...if he hadn't been murdered by zombies inside the haunted house!

Following a cryptic series of confusing clues and dodging a hail of bullets, Merry needs to find the killer fast if she's going to save this Halloween!
