Kate Carlisle returns to her Fixer-Upper series for the
holidays. Shannon
Hammer is struggling to get into the Christmas spirit when
trouble starts
occurring at her next project site. When a fight erupts
between Shannon's
father and the petty president of the bank who's backing
her current project
and he is found dead, Shannon has her hands full as she
tries to prove that
her father isn't guilty.
DECK THE HALLWAYS is a fantastic holiday read that is filled
with charm
and suspense. I like that Shannon is a character who
doesn't actively go
seeking trouble like some other amateur sleuths I've read.
She is far too busy
to be looking for problems already, but of course, she would
never turn her
father away when he is clearly in trouble. Because of that,
Shannon is one of
my favorite heroines.
In this particular book, the initial death does that a while
to occur so the
beginning of the story can lag here and there. However,
there is still many
more things happening throughout the story that make up for
it. I particularly
liked the holiday twist on things and I feel like these
Christmas Cozy
Mysteries may actually become one of my new favorite things
to read. I just
love the combination of mystery and suspense with that
holiday vibe.
This book can be read as a standalone. However, I would
suggest going
back and reading the other two books in the series. They are
just as fabulous
and excited as DECK THE HALLWAYS is.
The latest mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Crowned and Moldering. Someone's been slayed! If contractor Shannon Hammer can't nail the real culprit in the St. Nick of time, her dad will wind up in the clink... Even at Christmastime, Shannon is more spackle than sparkle, which is why she leaps at the chance to transform a grand old Victorian mansion into ten charming apartments for homeless families. Filled with the spirit of the season, all of Lighthouse Cove turns out to help—including her best friends, a troupe of far-from-angelic Santa Claus impersonators, and her father, Jack.
But their merriment is soon dashed by a heated scuffle between Jack and the miserly president of the bank who’s backing the project. When the man is murdered, all eyes are on Jack, and visions of prison time dance in Shannon's head. Now, she needs to pull off a crime-solving miracle, before her father’s Christmas goose is cooked…
