Empty nester Merry Winters loves three things: Christmas, crafting and her family. To regain purpose and joy, Merry hits the road to a Christmas vendor event with her furry sidekick Ebenezer in her new mobile crafting sleigh, aka an RV.
But it soon turns into the nightmare before Christmas when Merry unwraps her Scrooge of an ex-husband’s body in one of the RV’s compartments. Add to that his missing winning lottery ticket believed to be stashed somewhere in the RV, leading the homicide detective and Merry’s stepdaughter to believe Merry is the one whodunit.
With visions of prison dancing in her head, will Merry be able to solve this Christmas calamity before she’s locked away?
What a fantastic start to a new series! Death, disaster, pain and joy (hmm sounds like a typical Christmas so far), this is a well crafted crafting story and I love the characters.
Merry and an on-line friend have set up the Merry and Bright Christmas Etsy shop (also selling through various craft shows), Merry has an RV which used to belong to her ex-stepdaughter and she plans on using this to go to the various craft fairs, but also to hopefully use it as a mobile craft room (maybe even do some teaching), when she arrives at the first Craft Fair things go wrong, very wrong, starting with finding her ex-husband dead in the RV, then getting attacked and finally being accused of murder! Now she needs to use all of her crafting skills to find out the truth, and not just about her dead ex! There are various story lines intertwined and it is great to see them being unraveled for our reading pleasure!
