Silent Night, Deadly Night
Author: Vicki Delany
When Merry Wilkinson's mother invites several old college friends to her home in Rudolph, NY, she is hoping for a happy reunion with old friends. The visit quickly turns sour due to constant bickering and problems between the women. Things take a darker turn when one of the women dies under strange circumstances. Once again, Merry finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. Can she figure out who offed a woman in her parent's house just before the holidays, or will the holiday season be a complete bust?
This is the 4th book in the Year-Round Christmas Mystery series. This one happens at Thanksgiving, so I had really good timing. I read this book over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
I've had plenty of stressful and tense Thanksgiving weeks due to family issues and forced socialization with people I just don't mesh with. But.....I have never had someone drop dead at the dinner table. That would definitely put a damper on festivities, especially if the person's medical emergency was caused by someone else. It made me feel better about all the years in the past where the holiday was just terrible due to other people's drama. There is always a worse scenario!
The plot kept my attention from start to finish. I'm liking the characters more and more as I get further into the series.
Moving on to the next book!!
