Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Joyce I. from Porter Ranch, CA won the personalized copy of Cleo Coyle’s Dead to the Last Drop. And, I’ll be sending a copy to Judy M. from Bradenton, FL.
It’s time for the last giveaway of Christmas mysteries. The Candy Cane Cupcake Killer is by Livia J. Washburn. Phyllis Newson will be serving her candy cane cupcakes at the tree-lighting ceremony in Weatherford, Texas. And, local rancher Barney McCrory manages to charm one away from her. And, then he’s dead. Fortunately for Phyllis, the man was shot, not poisoned. But, she’s determined to find the man’s killer.
The new Gaslight Mystery is Murder on St. Nicholas Avenue by Victoria Thompson. Mrs. O’Neill is delighted but puzzled when wealthy and charming Randolph Pollock marries her daughter, Una, a poor Irish girl. But, when Randolph is found murdered, with Una cradling the body, Mrs. O’Neill has to depend on the members of the new household formed by the marriage of Frank Malloy and Sarah Brandt. With Frank and Sarah on their honeymoon, the others step up to solve the mystery of the murder, but also the mystery as to who Randolph Pollock really was.
