October in Key West means heat, humidity and the Fall Festival Fest. This year, it also means a murder and a hurricaine. When one of the contentants in the pageant keels over dead during the zombie bike ride, Hailey steps in to try and solve the murder. In between writing a column about take-out food, planning her mom's wedding, dealing with her new boss and trying to decide whether to leave the Island for the duration of the storm, Hailey has her hands full.
I really enjoy this series, and picked up a map of Key West so I could follow along when Hailey is driving around town. The author really makes you feel like you are there, sweating and looking at all the strange happenings. There were so many likely suspects, I gave up trying to figure out who was the murdered. I also had to go and find a slice of Key Lime Pie on Saturday because I was craving it like crazy. This series is a lot of fun! (less)

Dollycas's Thoughts
Zombies, a hurricane, and murder! OH MY!! This story is "KILLER"!!!
Never a dull moment in Key West, but Halloween seems extra special. The week plus long event, Fantasy Fest, includes great food and drink, several events each day and costumes that are fun, scary, and some downright risqué. Hayley Snow is right in the middle of it all. She is reviewing places that serve takeout for Key Zest. Everything from food trucks to restaurants. She is also covering and participating in several events.
Her coworker Danielle was elected Queen of Fantasy Fest after weeks of fundraising but she seems to have made an enemy. Another contestant is not taking her loss well and making Danielle miserable.
Hayley dons makeup to zombify herself and takes part in the Zombie Bicycle Ride. Alcohol, costume restraints, or lack of balance has zombies tumbling everywhere. One right by Hayley so she stops to help. It takes awhile but she realizes it is the woman that has been bullying Danielle. When she dies police think there may have been foul play and Danielle is their main suspect. Hayley quickly starts her own investigation.
Oh and in addition to that and work, her mother has arrived in Key West with her fiancé for their wedding, and Hurricane Margaret is brewing and Key West is in it's path.
Lucy Burdette has filled these pages full. What a fantastic story!
All our favorite characters are back and Key West is full of tourists too. I absolutely love Miss Gloria. She is over 80 and Hayley has a hard time keeping up with her. Hayley and Bransford's romance has some bumps and there is some trouble at Key Zest, I really enjoyed all the dialogue. The characters continue to grow and even after 7 stories they are fresh and interesting. I would love to be friends with all of them.
The subplots entwine so comfortably with the main plot. Don't interpret that to mean there is not excitement because there is plenty of that. I couldn't believe how quickly I flew through this book. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. It was after midnight and I kept telling myself just one more chapter, just one more chapter, and soon I was to the recipes.
Don't miss this one! Pack your virtual bags and head to Key West and enjoy!! Be sure to send me a postcard (comment) telling me all about your trip!!
