Book Description:
From Grouch to Grinch... to Ghost

Hillside Manor's neighbors all adored proprietor Judith McMonigle Flynn's festive suggestion to deck the halls and houses in their cul-de-sac with eye-catching Christmas finery -- except Enid Goodrich. The grumpy old humbug refused to cooperate. Then someone cooked her Christmas goose -- silencing Enid's objections with a handy hatchet. Though Judith's already got a lot under her tree -- what with holiday business booming and the anticipated unwanted arrival of hubby Joe's soused ex-spouse -- she's not about to let murder mess up what's left of her seasonal spirit. With the help of irrepressible cousin Renie, Judith's determined to wrap up this case for Christmas -- and expose the Scrooge-slayer who felt strongly that the only Goodrich is a Deadrich.

It seems there is always one person in a neighborhood who is hard to get along with but when that person is hacked to death at Christmas, Judith and her cousin Renie are determined to "help" the police solve the crime. Another in the Bed and Breakfast series.

All but one of Judith McMonigle Flynn's neighbors adored the B&B proprietor's festive suggestion that they deck their halls and houses with eye-catching Christmas finery. Enid Goodrich, however, refused to cooperate. Then someone cooked the old grump's goose, silencing Enid's objections with a handy hatchet. Judith's already got a lot under her tree. Holiday business at Hillside Manor is booming and hubby Joe's soused ex-spouse is due to arrive at any moment. Still, Judith's not about to let murder mess up what's left of her seasonal spirit. And with the assistance of her somewhat less-than-elfin helper cousin Renie, she's determined to have this case all wrapped up by Christmas by revealing who put the screws in the neighborhood scrooge.

Great book and easy to read. This was my first by this author, but it won't be my last.
