My understanding is that this is the third book in the series. I have not read the first two. I'm a Halloween freak and the title of this one screamed at me, "read me first!". I'm happy that I listened to that voice as now I can say you can enjoy this book even if you haven't read the others. There are references to them but the author gives you enough background. I plan on reading the other two books.
I really like Georgie. She is a fun character. Her love interest, Jack, is wonderful too. Miles is Georgie's cat and there is a surprise involving him. I found the book to be an entertaining read. I was caught up in the shenanigans at the park and the story moved along quickly. I loved the peeks we got of the inside of the park. I felt like I was there.
There are recipes included for food mentioned in the story. Of course I made one, (actually two). I made the Spicy Pumpkin Soup and the sinfully delicious brownies. I used cashews in the brownies, (they were on hand), but they were excellent. Both recipes were easy to follow and came out tasty.
I would recommend the book to those looking for an entertaining, fast read. ( )

Easy to read and quick. Will read more in this series. ( )

Everyone is in costume for the event at the amusement park, including the misguided thieves. Former public relations head, Georgie and her guy detective Jack are on the scene in minutes and hope they have an advantage because Georgie is involved with the extravaganza. As soon as the sleuthing begins, so do the plot twists and suspense! Thanks be that the book is moderately sized or I would never have gotten to sleep! ( )
