Pumpkins in Paradise

 Pumpkins in Paradise by Kathi Daley


I loved this and the tie in of town Serenity, pumpkins, murder and mystery. Loved the characters and story line so much I purchased the second in the series called Snowmen in Paradise.  There are seven in this series. Love them. Great read.
