A cozy mystery in the USA TODAY Bestselling Organized Mysteries series.
Fun might be on the schedule for Halloween, but Kate & Meg find crime doesn't take a holiday...

Kate McKenzie never dreamed when she started her business, Stacked in Your Favor, that she'd spend nearly as much time crime solving as organizing.

However, with Halloween approaching, and too many items on the to-do list, she and Meg Berman find themselves in another puzzling—and risky—dilemma. Where every answer leads to another question.

And more danger…

Please note: This title originally appeared in a shorter version in the Halloween anthology, Midnight Mysteries. New content has been added to this release.

Organized for Masked Motives is a holiday novelette title in the popular Organized Mysteries series from USA TODAY bestselling author Ritter Ames.

Organized for Murder is a very enjoyable first in a new series. Ritter Ames really hit it out the park with this debut, and with her organizational tips included (throughout the book and at the end), I know this is one book I will be hanging onto. If you haven't discovered this series yet, I highly recommend picking it up." ~ Cozy Mystery Book Reviews

"
Organized for Murder by Ritter Ames is the first in a new cozy mystery series, Organized Mysteries. This is a quality cozy mystery. The story is well-written, and the mystery kept me guessing. This is a great start to a new series, and one I am looking forward to revisiting. Great characters, fantastic writing, and a clever mystery all combine to make a really wonderful book." ~ Brooke Blogs

I enjoyed all the organizational tips that started each chapter. Several will be introduced into my own household." ~ Escape with Dollycas into a Good Book

The story line that goes along with these great tips will keep you reading!
There is a new woman in the neighborhood --all the kids think she is strange. Kate and Meg decide they will go visit her since they haven't met her yet. The woman is kind of strange but friendly enough when she realizes that all her two neighbors are doing is bring her a welcome box of cookies.Somehow they got involved in the schools Halloween party which was really more like a carnival for young kids! They convinced their husbands to dress up as well and they all went to help out.Strange things happen and Kate and Meg are almost taken hostage---turns out the kids were right about this woman!As usual there are lots of organizational tips in this one. There is also a bunch of safe games that younger children can play that mimic carnival games. The story line that goes along with these tips will keep you reading!

    I love visits with Kate, Meg and their families. The day to day moments that make the characters feel real are as entertaining as the mysteries. There are no dead bodies in this Halloween treat but the takedown is great..

    Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2018
    Kate and Meg are busy organizing a garage for a customer, getting ready for a Halloween carnival and welcoming a new neighbour. When Kate and Meg bring cookies and introduce themselves they realize something is off with the new neighbour. The kids on the block think that she is a witch who turns cats into zombies.
    This was a nice easy read that I enjoyed very much.
