Reviews
Two years after the Yuletide murder of her brother Nathan closed Hawthorne House, her bed-and-breakfast outside upstate LeFavre, Michigan, Sara Bartlett is ready to reopen. Her first pair of guests--Chicago homicide detective Jeremy Ransom and his grandmotherly friend Emily Charters, recuperating from open-heart surgery (Ransom for Our Sins, 1996, etc.)--couldn't be more suitable. Egged on by seasonal benignancy and simple nosiness, Ransom and Emily swiftly narrow the suspects down to Hawthorne House baker/cleaner Millie Havers, rolling-stone handyman Hansen Crane, cocky odd-jobber Johnnie Larkin, Nathan's old girlfriend Amy Shelton, and Sara's old flame Sheriff Jeff Fields--then watch as a second murder narrows the field even further. As quietly warming as a Christmas breakfast. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

He has decided to take a vacation for the holidays ? not for himself, of course, but for his friend and partner-in-sleuthing Emily Charters, who is still recovering from open-heart surgery. Emily, whom Ransom regards as his ?unofficial grandmother,? agrees to go away with him to a picturesque Michegan guest-house for the Christmas holidays only because she feels he needs the vacation himself. But no-one has counted on the troubled history of the guest-house. Two years ago there was a brutal murder ~ the co-owner was killed but the body was never found. Ransom and Charters are the first guests in the newly re-opened establishment and they set in motion a terrible string of events which may lead again to murder.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. FNL. with NO MAJOR FAULTS.* 1997-12-01. n. Seller Inventory # 5722
