How do you survive a season of fear?
October is a hard month for Rae Riley's family. Her dad, Sheriff Walter "Mal" Malinowski lost his wife and father then. He also has to manage the trouble Halloween brings to rural Marlin County, Ohio. But this year, Rae's uncle fights for his life after a riding accident, and a family feud over a lost inheritance erupts at a local Halloween attraction. As Rae tries to support her family, she and her cousin Amber work to unravel the 70-year-old riddle that will reveal the location of the inheritance so their great aunt Lily and her kids can gain a fortune. And Rae must deal with the secretive behavior of the deputy she’s fallen for.
When a bogus medium conducts a séance to contact Cyrus Morley, the man who devised the riddle, the results stun everyone, and the aftermath is even more shocking. There's only one way to survive a season of so much fear--and only one way to unmask a killer.
"Rae Riley is at it again, navigating complex family dynamics, potential romance, and a high-stakes treasure hunt with her usual faith and aptitude. Allen never fails to bring Marlin County to life, all the more vividly in this installment with the addition of fall colors and new personalities! A Riddle in the Lonesome October gives off the perfect spooky vibes for a Halloween read, yet shines a light of hope that good will always triumph in the end."
~Laurie Lucking, award-winning author of Common
"J.P.C. Allen takes readers on a journey into mystery, suspense, and Bigfoot. Rae Riley is the perfect heroine: brave, compassionate, but still deals with her own struggles as she processes life. A Riddle in the Lonesome October is my favorite of the series because of the intense drama and mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the last page."
--Jennifer Hallmark, author of Jessie’s Hope and Smoking Flax
JPC Allen’s A Riddle in the Lonesome October is a perfect addition to your fall reading list, continuing the Rae Riley Mystery series with intrigue, heart, and a touch of the mysterious.
As Rae’s town prepares for an October celebration at the abandoned home of its most infamous villain, a mysterious riddle tied to a long-lost treasure sparks a frantic search. But when a horrifying accident leaves Rae’s uncle gravely injured, and her cousin paralyzed by fear of a monster lurking in the woods, the stakes rise. With rumors swirling and strangers flooding into town, Rae must summon her courage and unravel the riddle before greed, danger, and darkness claim another life.
JPC Allen masterfully blends suspense with themes of faith, family, and sacrificial love—reminding readers that true strength often comes in the face of fear. A discussion guide is included, making it a thoughtful pick for book clubs.
-- Felicia Bridges, author of the award-winning International Mission Force series

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How do you survive a season of fear?October is a hard month for Rae Riley's family. Her dad, Sheriff Walter "Mal" Malinowski lost his wife and father then. He also has to manage all the trouble that Halloween brings to rural Marlin County, Ohio. But this year, the Malinowskis confront even more heartache.Rae's Uncle Hank fights for his life after he's trapped under his stallion in a creek. His twelve-year-old daughter Coral says a monster spooked her dad's stallion. Hank's other daughter, sixteen-year-old Amber, is convinced she let everyone down during the family's efforts to rescue Hank because she became hysterical.While Rae supports her family through this crisis as best she can, her friendship with Deputy Chris Kincaid turns into something more and a family feud over a lost inheritance erupts at a local Halloween attraction. The Haunting in the Hollow is staged on land once owned by Cyrus Morley, a wealthy dabbler in the occult, who hid a fortune in cash and jewels before he died. The only clues to the location is a three-word note and the poem "Eldorado" by Edgar Allen Poe. Rae and Amber work to unravel the 70-year-old riddle so their great aunt Lily and her kids can inherit a fortune. But other heirs are interested. And Aunt Lily's son Jack would never share anything he finds.On top of that, Rae realizes Chris is hiding something from her, and a bigfoot hunter comes to the county, interested in the story of Coral's monster and unconcerned with following laws like respecting private property lines. Rae's also worried about Amber, who keeps putting her safety at risk to prove her courage, like confronting Jack when he fights with his ex-girlfriend, sketchy medium Lyra Vex.Then Cyrus's only living child, Timothy Morley, hires Lyra to conduct a seance to contact his father and reveal the location of the treasure. When Lyra uncovers a second clue, it looks like Rae and Amber's treasure hunt is over. But the day after the seance, Amber glimpses a monster bending over Lyra's body. Did one of the heirs kill her? Or was it her jealous ex-boyfriend Jack? As Mal's investigation goes nowhere, Rae learns there's only way one way to survive all the fears the family faces. And only one way to unmask a killer.
