Just when the tension seems to be too much, a murder after a Halloween party reignites the spark between Kiko and Dom.<br><br>But when the body count begins to rise, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary killer. With few leads and no end to places the murderer could strike, this could either be a Halloween for Kiko and Dom to remember, or their very last.

Deal with the Deviled Eggs

“He’s broke or he wouldn’t be crashing here.”


Kiko ignored him and went back to the murder.


“So someone puts a razor blade in Spencer’s deviled egg and cuts the brake line on his car. This person might have shot him, too. You didn’t happen to notice who put the razor in the egg?”


“No,” said Dom, annoyed. “It was packed in that kitchen. But there was someone suspicious.” He paused for emphasis. “The creepy guy.”


“The mystery man Owen hires every year? People have been trying to guess his identity since he first started hosting the Haunted Halloween House. Most likely he’s from another town. It’s part of the atmosphere. Are you sure no one got in an argument with Spencer, seemed to hate him, anything?”


Dom shook his head. Spencer had not really stood out to him. He’d seemed like a young straight guy at a party, trying to get laid, and not letting anyone move in on his woman. Ordinary. A bit like Travis, actually.
