Golden autumn leaves, pumpkin spice chai, and . . . bigfoot? Estes Park readies for one if its most beloved celebrations—Halloween! As Winifred Page prepares her bookshop for the festivities, she ponders whether forcing her grumpy corgi, Watson, into a costume is worth the effort, or his disdain. But outfit themes take a backseat when Creature Seekers, a popular monster hunting television program, teams up with local yeti hunter, Rocky Castle, for their Sasquatch special. When Fred and Leo's engagement party is disrupted by a vicious "yeti attack," Fred can't ignore the scruffy Rocky—though she dearly wishes she could—and the creature seekers who are the prime suspects. But betrayal, manipulation, and murder stalks through Estes . . . and as people hunt for the elusive yeti, the yeti might be doing some hunting of his own . . . (This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for fall-flavored apple and cranberry pie with spiced pie crust.)Voir livre
