Ding, dong, someone's dead...

Bar Harbor, Maine, is quieter in the off-season, but the population has just increased a bit with the arrival of Ted and Trudy Lancaster. Ted’s taking over for a retiring minister, and Trudy runs a food truck called Wicked ’Wiches. When she stops in at the Island Times office to place an ad, Hayley happily devours the sample sub Trudy offers—and the two become fast friends.
 
When Trudy tragically dies in her truck while catering a Halloween party, suspicion falls on a cranky, competitive caterer who’d made veiled threats to Trudy. But the case becomes more complicated when Hayley’s husband admits he’d seen someone dressed as a witch hurrying away from the food truck—not very helpful when countless women at the party wore the same costume. Now Hayley finds herself sandwiched between witches and witnesses as she considers a smorgasbord of suspects. If she finds the killer, she’ll be a local hero . . .
 
Includes delectable recipes from Hayley’s kitchen!

Praise for Death of a Wicked Witch

Praise for Lee Hollis and The Hayley Powell Mysteries:

Praise for Death of a Cupcake Queen:

"Fast-paced and funny, this mystery takes us on a wild ride as a killer starts picking off former mean girls. Hardworking single mom Hayley and her crew are just plain fun, and Hayley's fearless sleuthing always lands her in a heap of trouble. The mystery moves along swiftly and culminates in a nail-biting confrontation, but the real treat is the author's skill at writing witty, light-hearted humor, which makes this series truly shine." --RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
