Death in the Haunted Wood

Writer Saffi Graywood thinks a quick road trip to help a friend will be the perfect break from her looming manuscript deadline. But her autumn getaway takes a chilling turn when aging horror star Malcolm Morton reveals he’s been receiving threatening vintage postcards—and his groundskeeper has just turned up dead beneath the dock.

Malcolm’s grand reopening of a forgotten theme park known as “The Haunted Wood” should be his triumphant comeback. Instead, Saffi finds herself surrounded by towering evergreens, eerie movie props and a colorful cast of suspects that includes a local sheriff with his own agenda.

As jack-o’-lanterns grin from every corner and costumed guests arrive for the Halloween Spooktacular, Saffi must piece together clues over steaming cups of spiced chai. With each vintage postcard’s threat growing more sinister and the October mist concealing deadly secrets, she races to unmask the truth before the killer’s final trick claims another victim. Can Saffi solve the mystery lurking behind small-town friendly faces? Or will her sleuthing turn this fall season into her last?

Death in the Haunted Wood is the second in the captivating Pacific Northwest Cozy Mystery series.
