The Pumpkin Murder

A small mountain village where only six residents remain. An old lady in black lives in a house blown through by the winds, on the cold riverbank. A dark forest crowding right up to the village and candles quivering in orange pumpkins. And there are forebodings intensified by the fallen Tarot card, and fog—of course fog, dark figures, and the sound of footsteps… The classic Halloween atmosphere! But everything isn’t what it seems, and all the roles get mixed up! The trembling flame of a candle in a pumpkin’s toothed mouth is just a game—so there’s nothing to be afraid of. This, of course, will agree with Alexandra, who came to find out what is so troubling the owner of the old house. But first… first she’ll have to get properly scared. A cozy story for a gloomy autumn, a warm blanket, and a cup of tea. A tale from the series Delitti e delizie— crimes and tasty treats.
