Well, it's ONLY 122 day til Christmas,
and just because it's 94 degrees in the shade,
doesn't mean we can't get into the Christmas spirit early with this new book-
or at least dream of snow! LOL
Synopsis:
It’s Christmastime in Cottonwood, Kentucky, and Sheriff Kenni Lowry is determined to keep the peace. Vivian Lowry, Kenni’s Mama, is having a Christmas-size hissy fit because Kenni plans to spend Christmas in Chicago with her Deputy Sheriff-turned-boyfriend Finn Vincent and his family.
Plus, the snowstorm of the century is headed right toward Cottonwood, leaving the residents in a frantic frenzy and potentially derailing Kenni’s Christmas plans with Finn.
If that’s not enough to dampen the Christmas spirit, the ghost of Kenni’s grandfather—the ex-sheriff—makes an appearance, and that means only one thing: there’s been a Christmas murder, and there’s a tinsel-wrapped victim at the center of it.

Relying on her Poppa more than ever, Kenni uses him as the Ghost of Christmas Past to help solve the murder, but will it be in time for her to save Christmas in Cottonwood and hop on her plane to meet Finn’s family?
Review:
This is the 6th book in the Kenni Lowry series, but somehow the first one in it I had read. No idea WHY, just somehow I hadn't read this series yet. I will be remedying that however! Like Tonya's other series, Kenni speaks to dead people, but in this case, it's only her grandfather, the former Sheriff, who comes back when there is a murder, and helps her along with the case at hand. And this new case is a doosey.
The book will keep you guessing back and forth, as more evidence comes out, as to who really is the murderer, as the suspect list keeps growing. What seems like a happy relationship hides come very nasty undercurrents, and what seems like selfish reasoning, is found to be very compassionate. In the mix of how well do you really know your neighbors coupled with small town Southern charm (will Kenni's mother be the festival Queen to make up for Kenni leaving town for the holidays?), and characters that could be your family and friends, this is a charming book, that is a real page turner!
