Never Mess with Mistletoe
Never Mess with Mistletoe | Edie Claire
5 posts | 1 read
Tenth in the USA-Today bestselling Leigh Koslow Mystery Series! Frances Koslow was ecstatic to have her humble abode chosen as stop #3 on the Holiday House Tour. Then everyone drank the cider. When Leighs parents house becomes a last-minute substitution on the regional garden clubs famous Holiday House Tour, Frances Koslow is thrilled. But the tour is tomorrow, theres work to be done, and Francess dwindling and aging Floribunda chapter is in dire need of reinforcements. Worried about her mothers blood pressure, particularly as sisterly tensions rise over Leighs Aunt Lydies upcoming Christmas Eve wedding, Leigh steps in to make sure the tour runs smoothly. But perhaps Leigh isnt the ideal choice for the task. Not when a fortune cookie has just portended the return of her infamous bad karma. Not when everyone knows the real reason the Floribundas have declined is because every remaining member is a whackadoodle. And not when someones idea of Christmas spirit is to add a little something extra to the sweet cider punch. One dead Floribunda later, Leigh struggles to keep her family calm in the midst of swirling suspicions, flying accusations, and dubious warnings of biological warfare. But when someone threatens to silence her own all-too-curious daughter, mother-rage kicks in. Nobody is ruining her familys Merry Christmas. Not even her family. Praise for the Leigh Koslow Mystery Series: NEVER BURIED "A funny, fast-paced, clever, and unusual mystery that will have readers clamoring for more. Edie Claire writes with style and dash. Sheer delight."Carolyn Hart NEVER SORRY "Edie Claire is a bright new addition to the mystery world. Along with appealing characters and a blessedly lucid writing style, she delivers a solid plot that keeps the pages turning."Margaret Maron NEVER TEASE A SIAMESE "The fifth installment in this excellent series, and perhaps Ms. Claire's best yet. The characters and relationships are superior, written with heartfelt compassion and wry wit."Romantic Times

A murder mystery with a large cast of characters & one of the most annoying group of ladies reminiscent of Edith Wharton‘s Xingu (all suspects) I‘ve read about in ages, fortunately offset by other characters & a charming 12-YO girl trying to conduct her own investigation. Did the mistletoe do it? Maybe. But the cover is misleading. There is no cat! An enjoyable read but it just felt too long. #wintergames #crushtherush #readyourway

Clwojick I would‘ve been let down to find there was no cat! 4y

The young 12-year-old daughter in this book reminds me so much of me at that age! Her parents are discussing her birthday gifts. If genealogy software and internet databases (much less an affordable home computer) existed when I was that age, I‘d have wanted the very same things for my birthday! I was forever sending off SASEs to county clerks to get copies of birth and death certificates. I was such a weird child.

GingerAntics I was that kind of child as well. 4y

CaitZ Me too! I spent hours with my mother at the local National Archives scrolling through census microfilm. 4y
Texreader @CaitZ Oh me too (well not with your mother) but by myself when I worked in DC. And the DAR library! The DAR was open one night a week—I think Wednesday‘s and the Archives on Thursday‘s. So those days after work I‘d take the metro to one or the other and study for hours. It was so awesome! I‘ve rekindled my childhood love of genealogy periodically over the years. @GingerAntics (edited) 4y
