Description from the publisher:
Fall in Cedar Valley is hand
letterer Jamie Lang's favorite time of year—the fall farmers' market, the glass
pumpkin show, and the annual Zombie 5K Fun Run, zombie costume contest, and
zombie dummy competition. This year
Jamie and her friends are determined to win the competition for best zombie
dummy. Their stuffed zombie bride looks
like she has a good shot at winning, too…
Until someone swaps the dummy for a real dead body.
Jamie would rather leave solving the murder to her handsome friend and chief of police, Ridge Calhoun. But Ridge is short staffed and people are soon telling her gossip and secrets they would never share with Ridge. Each sordid new revelation points to a different suspect. Now it's up to Jamie to untangle this web of deceit before Cedar Valley's trio of zombie events are DOA.

PROCESS OF ILLUMINATION is the fifth
book in the Hand Lettering Mystery
series. Each will stand on its
own, but I would strongly suggest reading them in the order of release.
A Halloween cozy mystery that was
perfectly executed…. Errr…. Maybe I shouldn’t say ‘executed’ when speaking
about a murder mystery… yikes! I loved
the twisted fun of zombie decorations, treats, and competitions.
Though this is all about the cozy
mystery, there is also a bit of romance in the air. Jamie has two intriguing men to keep her
smiling. Both are worth her time,
effort, and ice cream.
I liked how the “Illumination” bit
was worked into the story and explained.
There were even some examples!
This is my favorite of Ms. Archer’s
series and I will continue to pick them up as quickly as she puts them out.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
