Overview

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. Perfect for fans of Lauren Elliott, Merryn Allingham, Debbie Macomber and readers who love their cozy mysteries served with breathtaking scenery, quirky characters and just enough romance to warm a chilly autumn night.

Author Information

Like the main character in her debut cozy mystery series, Kim Griswell lives, writes, and travels in a recreational vehicle. She's rolled all around the United States, storing up details of people and places to use in her books. She has narrowly escaped a tornado in Illinois, been almost blown off a bridge in Washington, poked along behind an Amish buggy in Pennsylvania, teetered beside a sinkhole in Tennessee, and hunkered down on the shores of the Pacific Northwest while a winter storm rocked her RV like a ship at sea. Before she took to the road, Kim spent 15 years as an editor of children's magazines and books. She moved on from there to serve as a developmental editor of (and writer for) nonfiction books about everything offbeat, awesome, weird, wonderful, unbelievable...but true. (Also like the hero of her cozy mystery series). Kim loves movies, choral singing, long walks, tai chi, and reading from her never-ending stack of books. Currently, Kim and her husband live in a 35-foot RV beneath a towering redwood in Ashland, Oregon, but who knows where those wandering wheels will take her next?
