“The Haunted Season” - G. M. Malliet
(Max Tudor book 5) 🎃 It’s not my favorite in the series, but it’s good for some spooky, autumnal vibes. The allusions to Sleepy Hallow and Ichabod Crane are apt. 🎃 The mystery wraps up tidily with some unexpected connections to past cases and relationships that only Father Max could divine. Unusually for this series, we aren’t privy to much of how he arrives at his conclusions. He just does and he tells us about it. 🎃 He is adorable to annoying in his first-time parent doting, similar to his abject veneration of Awena who has now fully embodied the Earth mother role.
