Synopsis

Residents of a rest home are dying of very unnatural causes, in this new novel in a series of "warm, cozy crime capers" (Jill's Book Cafe).

Christmas Eve, 1989. A couple is found slumped in front of their twinkling Christmas tree in an apparent murder-suicide . . .

Today. Librarian Pru Pearce is preparing for her wedding to police detective Andy Barnes. But after one of her Women's Institute friends suffers a suspicious accident at Rookery Grange, a home for the elderly and infirm, Pru and the other ladies are on alert. And when one of the residents is asphyxiated with a pillow, no one can rest easy . . .

With her wedding taking a disastrous turn and a killer on the loose, the part-time detective makes another vow: to investigate and solve the mystery. Will she unravel generations of murderous secrets and find the culprit?

I have to say, this book had me from the cover's tagline: the weather outside is frightful but revenge is so delightful. I mean, who could resist?
