Residents of Rudolph keep the spirit of Christmas alive year-round—but their joy is threatened when a group of grinches visits the town, in the charming fourth installment of the Year-Round Christmas series.
It's the week before Thanksgiving, and Merry Wilkinson, owner of Mrs. Claus's Treasures, is preparing for a weekend reunion of her mother's college friends. But when the group of women comes into Merry's shop, Merry is met with frosty attitudes and cold hearts.
The women argue amongst themselves constantly, and the bickering only intensifies after one of the friends is poisoned. With her father's role as Santa in danger due to his proximity to the crime, Merry will need to use all of her investigative gifts to wrap this mystery up and save Santa and her favorite holiday.


 One sign of a GREAT series is that no matter how long it has been since you read a previous book in that series, once you begin the latest book you feel like you have come home. You feel surrounded by friends. That is how I felt picking up the latest in Vicki Delany's Year Round Christmas mystery series. I very much enjoyed being back in Rudolph.

Friendship was supposed to be on the menu when Merry Wilkinson's mother, Aline, invited college friends for a weekend of reminiscing and relaxation. Although from extremely varied backgrounds and experiences, Aline's memories were very different from what this weekend revealed. 
Full of subplots and tangled emotions, dark secrets and buried motives make this an interesting read.
It has elements of a closed house party mystery, with all the suspects under one roof, and a deductive reasoning and elimination puzzle, like a game of clue, it is not as simple as that could imply but oh so enjoyable!

It is the characters and their interactions that make this such a wonderful series.

Luckily, Canada accepted us as refugees and we were excited for a new beginning.

Sexual, physical and emotional abuse clouded my childhood years leaving me so damaged that it changed who I was meant to grow up to be. In my early twenties, I bought a house and converted it into a full blown marijuana grow op. Soon after, I entered into the world of elite call girls and became one of the most sought after girls in my agency. By my late twenties, I was on top of the world and the proud
