Florrie Fox and the book shop she manages are getting into the Halloween spirit with a visit from local author and psychic Hilda Rattenhorst. During the reading, Hilda has a visit from an evil spirit, where she learns about a body wrapped inside a rug.

Florrie calls her policeman boyfriend to share the news, but he doesn’t discover a body. However, later that night, Florrie and her dog stumble across a body wrapped in a rug, hidden in a neighbor’s Halloween decor.

This discovery sets off a chain of events from snake bites to throat slashing to kidnapping. Florrie and her friends try to make sense of the numerous mysteries. Are these events connected or is someone having some Halloween fun?

MURDER OUTSIDE THE LINES by Krista Davis is the third book in the Pen & Ink mystery series. This cozy will get readers into the Halloween spirit with the food, the decorations, and the spooky moments. Lots of twists and turns will keep readers on the edge of their seat.

SUMMARY

With Halloween just around the corner, the fall colors in Georgetown are brilliant. As manager of the Color Me Read bookstore, coloring book creator Florrie Fox has arranged for psychic author Hilda Rattenhorst to read from Spooktacular Ghost Stories. But the celebrity medium arrives for the event in hysterics, insisting she just saw a bare foot sticking out of a rolled-up carpet in a nearby alley. Is someone trying to sweep murder under the rug? Florrie calls in her policeman beau, Sergeant Eric Jonquille, but the carpet corpse has disappeared without a trace. 

Then in the middle of her reading, Hilda chillingly declares that she feels the killer's presence in the store. Is this a publicity stunt or a genuine psychic episode? It seems there's no happy medium. When a local bibliophile is soon discovered missing, a strange mystery begins to unroll. Now it's up to Florrie and Jonquille to expose a killer's true colors . . .
