Decked with Folly (A Special Pennyfoot Hotel Myst) - Softcover
Book 17 of 21: Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery
Synopsis
In this mystery in Kate Kingsbury’s cozy series, the Pennyfoot Hotel is decked out in holiday style, but when things start to go awry, Cecily Sinclair Baxter learns that not everyone’s been nice this year…
When one of Cecily’s candlesticks disappears, she realizes someone is lacking in Christmas spirit. But petty thievery seems the least of her problems after she learns a former employee has been found dead in her duck pond. He hasn’t worked at the Pennyfoot in years, but his ex-wife is still their head maid—and she heads the list of suspects.
Now a killer and a thief must be taken off the guest list in order to put the merry back into Christmas...

Reviews
The Christmas curse (that is, something quite dreadful happen[ing] to put a dampener on things) strikes again in Kingsbury's diverting fifth holiday Pennyfoot Hotel mystery set in Edwardian England (after 2008's Ringing in Murder). Cecily Sinclair Baxter, the Pennyfoot's proprietress, immediately suspects foul play after the body of Ian McBride, the estranged husband of her chief housemaid, Gertie, surfaces in the hotel duck pond. While Gertie emerges as the prime suspect in her husband's demise, Kingsbury expertly strews red herrings to suggest plenty of others had reason to wish Ian dead. Subplots involving Ian's first wife and what various members of the household staff were up to on the eve of the murder add intrigue. This makes the perfect stocking stuffer for the cozy fan in your life. (Nov.)
