Excerpt from Christmas Carol Murder

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

My teaser this week is from Christmas Carol Murder. Christmas in August? I admit I like reading Christmas books all year long. But it was kind of funny listening to descriptions of snow and frigid weather while riding my bike in 32ºC weather! I quite enjoyed this cozy mystery by Leslie Meier. It is a Lucy Stone mystery. I have not read any others in the series, but there was sufficient information to understand the characters and their relationships.

Once inside, with the kitchen door closed behind him, he set the envelopes on the kitchen counter, on top of a stack of empty egg cartons, and carefully examined the package.

Lucy Stone normally loves the holidays, but this year, Tinker’s Cove has fallen on hard times. The story’s not so bleak at Downeast Mortgage, whose tightfisted owners, Jake Marlowe and Ben Scribner, are raking in profits from everyone’s misfortune. Half the town is in their debt, so when the miserly Marlowe is murdered, the mourners are few and the suspects are many. Can Lucy solve the case and deck the halls before the killer strikes again?
