Author Book List

The Christmas season at the Cackleberry Club café is marred by murder in the latest book in the New York Times bestselling series.

Some say that casting crusty attorney Allen Sharpe as
Scrooge in the Kindred Players production of "A Christmas
Carol" is just playing to type. He's not the most beloved
man in town. In fact, you'd have a dickens of a time finding
someone who liked him. Still it's a shock when the Ghost of
Christmas Past stabs him during the first rehearsal.
Suzanne, co-owner of the Cackleberry Club café, Kindred's
favorite combination diner, craft store and bookshop, chases
the murderer out of the building but loses him in the alley.

As the days pass the list of suspects grows longer. Is it
the disgruntled partner? The former secretary whom Sharpe
sexually harrassed? Or is it fellow owner of the Cackleberry
Club, Toni's almost ex-husband, Junior? The women of the
Cackleberry Club are determined to find the killer before he
can add another victim to his Christmas list.
