Book description
Some say that casting crusty attorney Allen Sharpe as Scrooge in the Kindred Players production of "A Christmas Carol" is just playing to type. He's not the most beloved man in town. In fact, you'd have a dickens of a time finding someone who liked him. Still it's a shock when the Ghost of Christmas Past stabs him during the first rehearsal. Suzanne, co-owner of the Cackleberry Club café, Kindred's favorite combination diner, craft store and bookshop, chases the murderer out of the building but loses him in the alley. As the days pass the list of suspects grows longer. Is it the disgruntled partner? The former secretary whom Sharpe sexually harrassed? Or is it fellow owner of the Cackleberry Club, Toni's almost ex-husband, Junior? The women of the Cackleberry Club are determined to find the killer before he can add another victim to his Christmas list.

My thoughts
Laura is one of my go to cozy mystery authors. I liked that this was a Christmas themed mystery. It makes it fun to read this time of year. Of course I always like to revisit Suzanne, Toni and Petra at the Cackleberry Club. You could understand why people would want Allen gone the more you learned about him, but with so many people wanting him gone who did it. I had someone in mind but then in Laura gave me twist and I was wrong. Laura's writing style for me is easy and enjoyable to read. I look forward to the next book by her.
