Lucy is a wife and the mother of three young children, juggling Cub Scouts and PTA meetings, baking Christmas cookies, and playing host to holiday visitors. All of this, not to mention that she works through the night taking sales calls for Tinker's Cove's biggest business, Country Cousins. Needless to say, things are pretty hectic, but they get even more stressful when Lucy finds the owner of Country Cousins sitting in his car one snowy night, apparently having committed suicide, but soon it's discovered that the cove's wealthy entrepreneur didn't take his own life. It isn't long before Lucy hatches a plan to catch an ice cold killer.
I recently reviewed the newest addition to this series, Turkey Trot Murder, and loved it! When Kensington Publishing also gave me the opportunity to review this book, I was very excited. It didn't disappoint.
I really enjoyed seeing how the Lucy Stone series has progressed and was glad to see that Turkey Trot wasn't the first time Leslie Meier's books dealt with current societal issues, such as poverty, job loss, and substance abuse. These books are light hearted reads, but they also leave me feeling like I've discovered more about important issues in our society. Seeing both masterfully intertwined in a single book makes the Lucy Stone series stand out above the rest.
