Explore a corn maze as autumn begins.  It’s fun; it’s family friendly; and, oops, it’s a great place to murder somebody and get away before anybody discovers the body.  Three-Zee Zook and her best friend, Bambi Bamberger, learn this the hard way when they’re the ones who find the body at a genuine dead end.  Then it’s home to Mountain Woods Resort where there are no local cornfields but lots of woods, just the place to set up a Haunted Woods activity prior to Halloween.  Oops again, another dead body.  As usual, none of their ghosts are any help whatsoever.

Include a bunch of high school kids working as ghouls to enhance the Haunted Woods experience, and you have a chaotic situation not helped in the least by a couple of questionable resort guests and the near demise of one of the kids.  Three-Zee and Bambi wind up spending a lot of time trying to figure out who’s doing what to whom and why, eventually bringing everything to a rather messy conclusion.
