Yuletide Mayhem: Book Two of the Jeremiah and Susanne Series

On the last trip over the pond, Jeremiah, a ten-year-old mildly autistic kid with a pathologically good memory and an abnormal capacity to observe and catalog details, was nearly murdered. Eighteen months later, the family is again off to England, this time for a Christmas visit to the grandparents. What could possibly go wrong this time?

For starters, Uncle Ian's brats are name-dropping snobs. And his wife, a functional alcoholic named Evelyn, wants to become a widow. The meeting with Uncle Brian's new squeeze has hilarious results when she thinks booze will calm her anxiety about meeting the titled family. What a mess!

A freak snowstorm gathers all the family under one roof, which allows the psychopaths free reign. Fortunately, kindly and grateful ghosts encountered during the last visit intervene, but death still stakes a claim.

The family begins to heal after the murderous storm, but are they truly safe? The next book, Portrait of a Wedding Party, provides the shocking answer.
