Not all is cheery and bright at the Pennyfoot Hotel after an ex employee is killed with a stolen candlestick, and the head maid - and ex wife - of the deceased, is the prime suspect. Cecily must figure out who the real killer is even though a suspicious guest seems to know too much abut the murder and keeps getting in her way. This is a nice cozy, and was enjoyable to read.
Totally enjoyed this one more than any other book in the Pennyfoot series. Lots more action, more time spent wondering who could have been the murderer. AT this point it would seem obvious that the Pennyfoot or perhaps its occupants are cursed, especially around Christmas. It all works perfectly however, in keeping you involved in the stories each holiday season. No matter how many I read, I cant wait to read the next in line.
I highly recommend this one. It picks up a year later from the last book(of course) and the story continues. There is plenty of character development, but I still think you could pick this book up without having read any previous one and enjoy it just as much as a diehard fan.
