Barbara Ross 
Scared Off 

Barbara Ross returns to glorious Maine with a spooky but fun Julia Snowden mystery set during Halloween season.



Three teenage girls having a sleepover on Halloween night get spooked when high schoolers crash the house for a party. But no one expected to find a crasher like Mrs. Zelisko, the elderly third floor tenant, dead in the backyard—dressed in a sheet like a ghost. With her niece traumatized, Julia Snowden must uncover who among the uninvited guests was responsible for devising such a murderous trick . . .

 


Praise for Shucked Apart

 


“An intelligent, well-plotted page-turner with likeable characters and a doozy of an ending. Highly recommended.”
