Publisher's summary

Halloween has arrived in picturesque Ashland, Oregon, and all of the ghouls and goblins have descended on Main Street for the annual parade. It's a giant street party and Torte is right in the mix.

Jules Capshaw and her team have been baking up autumn delights and trick-or-Torte bags filled with sugar cookie cutouts, spiced cider, and mummy munch. It's the end of the season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which means that the costumes for the parade are going to be out of this world. The elaborate guises even extend to pets. The grand marshal of this year's parade is no other than a regal pug aptly named King George. Jules is delighted to get to share the experience with Carlos and Ramiro, but things take a dark turn when she discovers a dragon slumped in front of the bakeshop.

Jules is distraught when she realizes the dragon is dead. She's also shaken because a few days before the parade, her mother's Mahjong partner Helen discovered a warning note about a dragon in an antique game set. Jules hopes it's just a random coincidence, but as the clues begin to unfold it becomes evident that there's been a murder on All Hallow's Eve. Can Juliet sift out the truth before the killer comes after her?

Loved the story, but . . .

I wanted to cringe each time I heard the word "Mahjong." Maybe it's a regional pronunciation of the narrator, but I've never heard it pronounced that way. The emphasis was on the wrong syllable, and it seemed awkward.

Halloween is fun in Ashland

I enjoyed getting a view into the Halloween traditions on Ashland Oregon. The parade sounds fun.
I like the narrator and enjoyed the mystery.

Story was fine, narration was awful

I actually wondered if this was AI narrated since there was very little inflection and when there was it seemed at odds with the story. The humor of the story was lost with the lack of inflections. Carlos' accent was awful, and what was supposed to sound sexy sounded stalker creepy.
