Top 10 Halloween Books For Adults & Children
(KDKA)
The Mystery Lovers Bookshop's Top 10 Halloween Books for Adults and Children.
Working Stiff by Tori Carrington:This is the fourth in a comic series with sort-of PI Sofie Metropolis, a character that might be the result of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum going to My Big, Fat Greek Wedding. The authors, husband and wife Tony and Lori Karyanis, will be among the authors visiting us on Halloween but the reason we include it is that it takes place in the week leading up to the holiday.

This is the latest by physician turned writer Gerritsen to feature medical examiner Maura Isles and her buddy, homicide detective Jane Rizzoli.
