Home at Night (Mercy Carr Mystery, Bk. 5)

The fifth installment in the popular Mercy Carr Mystery series featuring a strong female sleuth and her canine partner.

It’s Halloween in Vermont, and winter is coming—so Mercy Carr and her family (including two dogs and a cat) have outgrown their cozy cabin. Mercy sets her sights on Grackle Tree Farm, a sprawling property with woods, wetlands, and a Victorian manor rumored to be haunted by ghosts of missing children and lost poets. But the dream of a new home quickly turns sinister when Elvis the dog discovers a dead body in the estate’s library. A coded letter found on the victim hints at hidden treasure, and as Mercy, Captain Thrasher, and their companions delve into the mystery, they run into bullets, betrayals, and danger at every turn. With Thrasher wounded and Mercy on crutches, the team must track the masked killer through a county full of Halloween revelers and treasure hunters before the murderer strikes again—and before the legacy of Grackle Tree Farm is lost forever.
