Mystery | Holiday

There's merry mischief aplenty in Donna Andrews' latest avian-themed Christmas mystery!

The Christmas season is underway in Caerphilly. The members of the Hollingsworth clan, Meg's mother's family, are beginning to arrive in force, and Mother has several special projects underway this year. One is the playhouse she's having built for Brynn, her two-year-old granddaughter. Brynn is a bright, lively child who loves animals, especially a wounded jay that she and Meg are trying to rehabilitate. She's also hoping to play matchmaker and set up her cousin with an old friend of hers who was recently widowed.

But all is not going smoothly in Caerphilly. Someone vandalizes the playhouse and sets a dangerous trap that injures and could have killed Mother. She reveals that she has been getting nasty anonymous letters, and it's obvious that someone is targeting her. Meg realizes she has to do something to figure out who could possibly have it in for her mom.

Meg juggles holiday preparations and celebrations while investigating these potential enemies - not to mention helping repair the damaged playhouse, taking her turn at nursing the wounded jay, and trying to coax Mother's elderly cousin into a reunion with his long-lost love. When one of Meg's suspects is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the family rejoices that Mother is out of danger. But Meg isn't quite sure they're out of the woods just yet.
