Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #294: Haunted House Murder by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Barbara Ross

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event which had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with "Can't-Wait Wednesday" hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From Goodreads:

Tricks and treats keep the Halloween spirit alive in coastal Maine. But this year the haunted house theme is getting carried a little too far . . .
 
HAUNTED HOUSE MURDER by LESLIE MEIER
Newcomers to Tinker’s Cove, Ty and Heather Moon have moved into a dilapidated house reputed to be a haven for ghosts. Now strange noises and flickering lights erupt from the house at all hours and neighborly relations are on edge. And when a local boy goes missing near the house, it’s up to Lucy Stone to unravel the mystery of the eccentric couple and their increasingly frightful behavior.
 
DEATH BY HAUNTED HOUSE by LEE HOLLIS
For the past two years, the house next door to Hayley Powell has sat abandoned after the owner died under mysterious circumstances. The Salinger family has recently taken possession of the property, but the realtor behind the deal has vanished—after a very public and angry argument with Damien Salinger. If Bar Harbor’s newest neighbors are murderers, Hayley will haunt them until they confess.
 
HALLOWED OUT by BARBARA ROSS
With its history of hauntings and ghost sightings, Busman’s Harbor is the perfect setting for Halloween festivities. But when a reenactment of a Prohibition-era gangster’s murder ends with a literal bang and a dead actor from New Jersey, Julia Snowden must identify a killer before she ends up sleeping with the fishes.
 
There’s nothing like home sweet home in this trio of Halloween tales... 

Haunted House Murder by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Barbara Ross is expected to be published August 27th, 2019 by Kensington.

Why am I waiting on this one? I like a good story with a Halloween setting. All three of these novellas have that. Plus they take place in haunted houses. And yet they are all different. This sounds like a perfect fall read.

From the novella: "The Claus Killing" by  Carolyn Ridder Aspenson

She blew her nose into the tissue, and it sounded like an eighteen-wheeler horn blowing on Interstate 85 in downtown Atlanta. "I know he's not real, you jerk. I'm not talking about that Santa. I'm talking about our Santa, the Bramblett County one. He's dead." (1% in on my Kindle)

Sleigh Bells and Sleuthing: a Collection of 16 Cozy Mystery Novellas Featuring Female Sleuths was published November 20th, 2018 by Good Fortune Farm Refuge. All profits from this collection go to the Good Fortune Farm Refuge, a No-Kill animal refuge in Alabama.
