In this ghoulishly fun Halloween episode of Elsbeth, our heroine Elsbeth Tascioni heads into the suburbs of Sleepy Hollow, where the Halloween‑maze fun turns deadly. A newcomer neighbour, free‑spirited Beryl, rubs the self‑appointed “community‑queen” Sharon the wrong way — triggering a rivalry that culminates in murder. Elsbeth and Det. Jackie Donnelly dig into alibis, door‑cam footage and a creepy chainsaw reveal to crack the case. Meanwhile, at the precinct, Capt. C.W. Wagner has his own subplot involving his daughter Julia and potential workplace romance.
