This Book Club just turned into a Murder Club.

Halloween in Brambleberry Bay promises a spooky season of frights, fights, and a dash of delight—where the only thing scarier than the dark is what lurks within it. Candy and pumpkins abound as trick-or-treaters run amok—but in this quaint small town by the sea, a serial killer might just be on the loose as well.

It’s so spine-chilling, it’s to die for! RECIPE INCLUDED!

Halloween in Brambleberry Bay is usually a time for pumpkin carving, costume contests, and candy corn binges. But this year, the jack-o-lanterns aren’t the only things lighting up the night—there’s a killer on the loose. And with the bodies piling up, Hattie and Killion are left wondering if it’s the work of a serial killer.

Willoughby Hall has opened its wicked arms to the residents of Brambleberry Bay as it plays host to the Halloween Hollow Festival on its sprawling thirty-three acre estate. But a real body turns up in the makeshift graveyard and soon the residents of Brambleberry Bay are wrapped up in a mystery darker than the seasonal espresso blends.

The Halloween Hollow Festival may be renowned for its extravagant decorations but as of late it’s become the backdrop for deadly homicide that is as frightening as any haunted house.

Between bobbing for apples and dodging deadly traps, my sweet cat, Cricket, and our golden retriever buddy, Rookie, must navigate through the maze of clues and suspects. The closer we get to solving the case, the mystery only seems to deepen, revealing that beneath the festive façade, Halloween Hollow harbors dark secrets of its own.

Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison’s books, “…easy, frothy fun!”

A heartwarming cozy mystery series about losing everything, taking a chance, and starting again. After suffering a personal tragedy Abby Sullivan buys a huge old seaside mansion she has never even seen, packs up her life in San Francisco, and moves to Holiday Bay Maine, where she is adopted, quite against her will, by a huge Maine Coon Cat named Rufus, a drifter with her own tragic past named Georgia, and a giant dog with an inferiority complex named Ramos. What Abby thought she needed was alone time to heal. What she ended up with was, an inn she never knew she wanted, a cat she couldn’t seem to convince to leave, and a new family she’d never be able to live without.

In book 16 in the series, Abby is offered the chance to participate in an author event being held at Firehouse Books with one of her own favorite authors. When the guest author turns up dead, Abby realizes that clues to the author’s death could be found in the new novel the woman had yet to release. Using her own sleuthing skills, Abby jumps into the investigation after it becomes clear that it just might take an author to find the meaning in the pages.

Meanwhile it is weeks before Halloween and the inn is filled with guests looking for a spooky weekend retreat. Join Abby, Georgia, Jeremy, Nikki, and Mylie as they host a series of events designed to provide thrills and chills to all who dare to venture within.

And that little mind-reading secret of Hattie’s? It’s about to come to light.

It’s Christmas in Brambleberry Bay and the members of the esteemed country club have been invited to a holiday party at secretive Willoughby Hall. But when the festivities take a dark turn, the season is quickly overshadowed by murder. And for one guest it will be their final sleigh ride.

The killer might be hoping for a silent night, but I’m about to ring in some holiday justice—with a sprinkle of tinsel on top.

It’s the festive season in Brambleberry Bay, and the town’s elite have decked their halls in anticipation of the grand Christmas party at secretive Willoughby Hall. However, amidst twinkling lights and carolers, the yuletide cheer gets frosted over by a chilling crime. For one well-heeled guest, their sip of mulled wine will be their last.

I’m Hattie Holiday, and while most are hanging stockings, I’m diving into the minds of Brambleberry’s high society. Sure, hearing the occasional stray thought can be a gift or a curse, but it’s always fun to chat with my cute little cat, Cricket, and Rookie, our Golden Retriever buddy who happens to have a penchant for mystery. And, incidentally, he happens to belong to the ever-so-dashing detective, Killion Maddox—my shiny new boyfriend.

My invitation to Willoughby Hall is more than just a chance to don a festive frock—it’s a chance to see the magic rumored to exist behind its walls. But it turns out this highbrow holiday bash has more under wraps than just a few presents. And with my quirky little talent, I might just land myself on the naughty list.

Old grudges, family feuds, and secret affairs?

It’s beginning to look a lot like murder.

It’s Thanksgiving in Brambleberry Bay and a turkey isn’t the only thing being carved up. A Thanksgiving dinner fundraiser has the country club elite ready to open their wallets—but for one member, it will be their last supper.

It’s a season of gratitude in Brambleberry Bay, but not everyone is counting their blessings. The elite of the town are gathered for a Thanksgiving dinner fundraiser at the country club, but the main course includes a side of murder. Among the caviar and crystal, one of the town’s upper crust meets a rather untimely and unseemly end.

I’m Hattie Holiday, and my ability to read minds isn’t just a quirky party trick. Sure, delving into people’s deepest thoughts has its perils, but it also has its perks—like conversing with my sassy cat, Cricket, and Rookie, an endearing Golden Retriever who has the somewhat grumpy detective Killion as his hooman.

My shiny new stint at the Country Club might have me rubbing elbows with Brambleberry’s crème de la crème, but their book club isn’t just about discussing the latest bestsellers. Something sinister lurks beneath the polished surface, and my nosy nature just might have put a target on my back. As secrets come to the surface, everyone’s desperate to keep their skeletons locked away. But as I’m quickly learning, skeletons don’t like closets, and neither do secrets.

Navigating this deadly game would have been complex enough, but things get even more tangled when my relationship with that ornery detective gets pretty heated. Between love, lies, and a lurking killer, it’s going to be one unforgettable holiday.

But in this game of deadly stakes, I’m about to serve up a slice of justice—with a dollop of whipped cream on top!

The turkey isn’t the only one on the run—so is a killer.
