Description:
Christmas has come to Cabot Cove, but a peaceful holiday season is not in the cards after Jessica Fletcher is pulled into a centuries-old mystery in the latest entry in this USA Today bestselling series.
With work on the reconstruction of her beloved home almost complete, Jessica Fletcher is in high holiday spirits, spearheading the annual Christmas parade and preparing for her nephew Grady and his family to come to town. The only thing dampening the holiday cheer is the discovery of two sets of bones on Jessica’s property: one set ancient, the other only about a year old. It’s concluded that they were both placed there during the reconstruction, and Jessica suspects that, despite the centuries between them, the remains might be connected.
Soon tabloid reporter Tad Hollenbeck arrives in Cabot Cove to write a story about what he calls “the murder capital of the country.” But when Tad himself is murdered, Jessica speculates that his arrival, his death, and the discovery of the bones are all somehow linked.
As Jessica digs deeper to find the connection between the bones and Tad’s murder, everything seems to come back to a mystery that has long plagued Cabot Cove. If she wants to solve the case, she’ll need to delve into her beloved town’s dark history, or else this holiday season may be her last....
My Review:
Jessica is finally home again to find she has a septic issue now and while working on that her workers stumble over a dead body or two and a box containing sacred old Cabot Cove documents. All this with Christmas on the horizon. Will Jessica have a Merry Christmas or will she be missing during this holiday?
Soon a tabloid reporter shows up to investigate Cabot Cove the murder capital of century at least that's what he calls it. When Tad Hollenbeck winds up snuffed out Jessica wonders if all the murders are connected? The more she investigates the more questions arise. With Mort, Harry, Seth, Grady, and other friends on the case you know it will be so much fun!
I love Jessica she to me was the first cozy character I really loved to watch her investigate and solve the crimes. She has a way that not many sleuths can match! You know when Jessica is on the case an injustice will be corrected and Jessica wont stop until the whole mystery is unraveled. This was no exception. Jessica proved once again why she in my eyes is the queen of cozies!
