FROM THE PUBLISHER
Lucy Stone, the delightful heroine of Leslie Meier's mystery series set in rural Tinker's Cove, Maine, makes her crime-solving debut in "Mistletoe Murder".
As if baking holiday cookies, knitting a sweater for her husband's gift, and making her daughter's angel costume for the church pageant weren't enough, Lucy is also working nights at the famous mail-order company Country Cousins. But when she discovers Sam Miller, its very wealthy founder, dead in his car from an apparent suicide, the sleuth in her knows something just doesn't smell right.
Taking time out from her hectic holiday life to find out what really happened, her investigation leads to a backlog of secrets as long as Santa's Christmas Eve route. Lucy is convinced that someone murdered Sam Miller. But who and why? With each harrowing twist she uncovers in this bizarre case, another shocking revelation is exposed. Now, as Christmas draws near and Lucy gets dangerously closer to the truth, she's about to receive a present from Santa she didn't ask for.

I just finshed this entertaining story. Even though our Lucy Stone is just a homemaker in other people's eyes, she's a great friend and a pretty good sleuth :)
IMO it is a good cozy mystery to curl up too :)

Thanks Sci! Happy Holidays!
This was my first Lucy Stone mystery. I've got another on my bookshelf that I'm looking forward to reading. It was a great cozy to curl up to on an ugly rainy Christmas Day! Thanks Sci!
WelshHelen picked this up in the BookSwapLive.com Mysterious Affair swap! Happy Reading!
Arrived safely today - thanks noumena12! I'm glad it's the first of the series because I'm one of these people who has to read a series in order :-) I have a feeling that I'll be on the lookout for more Leslie Meier books :-)
