Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling authors Gin Jones and Elizabeth Ashby comes a hauntingly good mystery....

It's Halloween, and Maria Dolores is hoping for a trouble-free weekend, the last one before the Lighthouse Farmers' Market closes for the winter. But her hopes are dashed when a state agricultural inspector threatens to shut down the market prematurely...right before a young woman falls to her death from the lighthouse cliff!

The local homicide detective thinks it was suicide and won't listen to Maria's extensive list of possible suspects for foul play or the fact that the victim was known for getting into fights that went beyond mere words. Not even Maria's boyfriend, lawyer turned farmer Merle Curtis, can convince the detective otherwise.

Now, it's up to Maria to unearth a secret in the pumpkin patch before the killer buries the truth - and possibly Maria along with it - forever.

Needs a professional narration

This narrator needs professional training! Poor pace, emphasis on wrong words, consistently poor declarative form resulting in a “valley girl” feel to the read... good story. Bad performance.

Great Series

Another murder near the Farmers Market. A Maria Delores lookalike is found at the bottom of a cliff. Was the girl the target or was Maria Delores the real target. Fun mystery. Recommend.

A Market Cozy Mystery

This was a fun themed cozy mystery audiobook! A town market is full of produce and craft vendors. Add in pet adoption, books, costumes, a scenic beach with a lighthouse, and a pumpkin patch. This all makes for a picturesque theme and an entertaining story.

A murder occurs at the market. The market manager has her hands full dealing with a variety of stressful issues, in addition to the murder. Listeners can feel the tension, with catastrophes and chaos waiting to happen.

The narrator, Darlene Allen has a clear, pleasant voice.

This audiobook is really good and held my attention! I rate it at four stars out of five.

Boring monologue at best

This is one of the most boring books on Audible! A woman with a tweetery voice, no plot just a dull boring tedious monologue.
This surprises me. I am a fan the Danger Cove’s quilt book series.
Forget this excoriating thing! Sorry I wasted a credit on purchase

Worst narrator ever!

An awful narrator just made a pretty dismal and boring book even worse than it needed to be.
