In the seventh book of the Candy-Coated Mysteries, it's Halloween on the island of Mackinac, and fudge maker extraordinaire, Allie McMurphy learns not all zombies come back to life! With recipes, cute pets, quirky characters, and an adorable young protagonist, the Candy-Coated Mysteries have the perfect ingredients for cozy mystery fans.

Halloween on Mackinac Island is a season of fun tricks, but finding a corpse is no treat for fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy . . .
 
NIGHT OF THE REALLY DEAD
 
It’s late October, off-season for tourists, but locals are up and lurching for the annual zombie walk charity event. Though everyone’s living it up, trouble is just a few pawprints away. Allie follows the bloody tracks of her calico cat, Carmella, to a body in the alley behind the Historic McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop. Unlike the island’s other walking dead, this one’s flatlined for good. It seems that someone is using the zombie fest as the perfect backdrop for murder. Now amateur sleuth Allie and dreamboat officer Rex Manning must use every trick in their treat bag to unmask a killer in disguise.
