Popcorn Plot: 3 (The Jack O' Lantern Mysteries) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

A state official with a secret, a hundred-and-forty-eight-year-old mystery, and a festival evacuation that changes everything.

It’s late October in Pelican Bay, Delaware, and Sugarplum Bakery owner Noelle Thomas is gearing up for the town’s annual Halloween Lantern Ball. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as state field officer Marcus Ivey arrives to re-examine the town’s long-standing lighthouse tragedy—a case local historian Hester Coyle has spent two years trying to solve.

When a sudden squall forces Marshal Barnaby Blythe to evacuate the festival, the town is thrown into chaos. In the aftermath, Marcus Ivey is found dead along the wall path below the historic plaque. Suspicion immediately lands on Hester when the third and final mysterious dune lantern is discovered lit nearby—and the scent of lamp oil clings to her favorite coat.

Determined to clear her friend’s name, Noelle dives into the investigation alongside harbor master Declan and her sharp-nosed rescue dog, Nutmeg. Between an empty camera battery buried in the dune grass, an unexecutable documentary contract, and missing Historical Society funds, Noelle uncovers a web of small-town secrets and professional desperation.

With time running out and local rumors swirling, Noelle and Nutmeg must follow a trail of hidden clues, unread state memos, and decades-old archives to catch the real killer before an innocent woman takes the fall.
