Town In A Pumpkin Bash is the fourth book in the A Candy Holliday Murder Mystery series.

While Cape Willington is getting ready for the annual Pumpkin Bash, Candy holiday and her best friend, Maggie Tremont, have agreed to help Mr. Gumm by taking over his pumpkin patches and selling the pumpkins from a roadside stand. They are also planning a hayride around the area and have set up some humorous headstones for everyone to enjoy.

Candy and Maggie are getting ready for their first day, but a scheduled meeting with a Mr. Quinn doesn't happen. They are getting ready to the hayride when a gentleman, who identifies himself as TJ, becomes a last second addition to the hayride. Their first stop is a special Halloween graveyard, where Mr. Quinn is found dead and covered with pumpkins.

Soon it is learned that TJ is T. J. Pruitt, the nephew of Helen Pruitt, a wealthy resident of Cape Willington and a lady who Candy has met in the past. Candy meets with Helen and TJ for lunch and is told that Helen's grandmother's personal journal has gone missing and would like for Candy to find it.

Candy also learns that years ago, the body of a young female was also found near where Mr. Quinn was found. Her identity was never learned and it seems no one knows exactly what happened with the body. As Candy begins to search for the missing journal, she has a feeling that they might be related.

There is a sub story that has been going on in this series, dealing with the Pruitt's and the Porter-Sykes family and the reader gets another piece of the story. I would suggest starting with the first book in the series.

Certainly looking forward to the next book. ( )

This was a surprisingly good cozy mystery. Excellent writing and descriptions, not cheesy at all. The pace moved along well and it was a very interesting plot, with important details tied in to the history of the people and the town. It also ended with a bit of a teaser of more to come, and I'm glad I have the next one already sitting at home from the library! If you're a fan of cozies this is a must-read series.
