I tend to jump into the middle of new-to-me cozy mystery series if there's something on the cover that catches my interest and that's exactly what happened when I saw the description for Fudge Bites by Nancy Coco. A dead body found during an annual zombie walk? Of course I was going to read that one!
Halloween isn't a major part of the plot. As soon as everyone washes of their makeup, life on the small island gets back to normal with the residents preparing for the off season. A bigger part of the plot is candy maker Allie's concern about how lonely she'll be once her friends take off for the winter and the rennovations she's making to her historic hotel.
A lot of pages are taking up with the details of Allie's life, but the murder mystery itself is the most fascinating part, especially the motives behind it. This one was a fun read.
