Showing results for "nightmare" in Amateur Sleuth

When a despised landlord is found dead inside Nightmare's popular bakery, Mama Dalton worries one of her friends is the prime suspect. She takes a cue from Olivia Kendrick's amateur sleuth success to dive into the case, bringing Olivia along with her into a world of old grudges, soured relationships, and secret back-alley meetings.

When Olivia Kendrick and her friends stumble on a dead body at a state park, it's clear supernatural forces were to blame. At the same time, shady people are showing up in Nightmare, and every one of them had a reason to kill. As rumors swirl about something powerful hidden in Nightmare, another murder victim puts the staff of Nightmare Sanctuary Haunted House on high alert. Is there a serial killer on the loose, or are there two killers to catch?

Divorced, broke, and broken down in the old mining town of Nightmare, Arizona, Olivia Kendrick is desperate for a job. At forty-two years old, she never thought she would be starting over like this, let alone in a tucked-away town filled with tourists, offbeat residents, and an outspoken UFO hunter. Olivia takes a job at a year-round haunted house, but when she arrives for her first day, she faces real horror: a local man's body has been dumped at the front entrance.

Olivia Kendrick has déjà vu. The star of Nightmare's popular Wild West Stunt Show is found dead after a heated argument, and it looks like an animal attack. Olivia knows better, though. The scene is eerily similar to the first murder she ever investigated in Nightmare. There's a young new stunt rider eager to take over the starring role, but he's not the only one with a motive for murder. As clues mount about money problems, old grudges, and unbridled ambition, the suspect list only gets longer.

When a server is found with a stake through her heart onstage at Nightmare Saloon, everyone at Nightmare Sanctuary Haunted House worries a vampire hunter is in town. After all, the murder happened just before the curtain rose for Allie Nunes, a vampire singer traveling through Nightmare.

Her car might be fixed, but that doesn't mean Olivia Kendrick is leaving the town of Nightmare, Arizona, just yet. As she settles into her new life working at Nightmare Sanctuary Haunted House, Olivia still wants to know what Damien Shackleford really is—other than handsome, brooding, and a total jerk.
