About this ebook

Welcome to Serenity Cove, a peaceful Southern communitywhere the residents like to play dice, play golf and, when foul play moves in, play detective.

 

With Christmas fast approaching, Kate McCall and her dice-playing friends get into the holiday spirit by agreeing to help the elderly Eula Mae Snow decorate her home, even when it means sorting through a veritable blizzard of the older woman’s knickknacks. Intent on doing a good deed and digging up a bright collection of seasonal decorations, Kate is stopped dead in her tracks when instead she discovers the skeleton of a man showing clear signs of foul play.

 

Many in Serenity Cove thought that Waylon Snow had run off and left town—and Eula Mae—more than two decades earlier. But with the appearance of his skeleton and a whole host of clues pointing to Eula Mae as the murderer, Kate will have to put her sleuthing skills to work to figure out who could have committed the evil deed. Determined to clear Eula Mae’s name, Kate knows she’ll have to solve the coldest of cold cases to track down the culprit before the holidays really go south . . . 

 

Includes tasty holiday recipes!

Another series I started at book 4, this one was clearly jumping into an existing series. It pretty much told you that there had been other books by the references regarding Kate's tendency to find dead bodies and the less than fabulous relationship she has with law enforcement. I have to say that I LOVE that the majority of the characters were 40 or above. I learned about a dice game I know people who have played but I have not. I thought that there were fun ways introduced to explain how Kate stumbled over the things that she did, including the dead body she finds at the beginning. I DID guess who did it and why long before it was revealed but I was so caught up in the interactions that I never got bored. All in all, I found it a nice read. I definitely recommend it. Thank you to Gail Oust, Beyond the Page Publishing, and NetGalley for allowing me the chance to read this book and share my honest thoughts and opinions

amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, murder, cozy-mystery, law-enforcement, situational-humor, verbal-humor, seniors If you like fun Southern whodunits, you'll love this story and the characters that make it so much fun! Misunderstandings, mislaid plans, friends and frenemies, and why was there a skeleton in the root cellar of the elderly widow's 1911 home? Great fun! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Beyond the Page via NetGalley.

About the author

Friends often accuse Gail Oust of flunking retirement. While working as a nurse/vascular technologist, Gail penned nine historical romances under the pseudonym Elizabeth Turner for Avon, Pocket, Berkley, and Kensington. It wasn’t until after she and her husband retired to South Carolina that inspiration struck for a mystery. Hearing the words “maybe it’s a dead body” while golfing with friends fired her imagination for this series. Gail is also the author of the Spice Shop Mysteries for Minotaur/St. Martin’s. When she isn’t reading, writing, or sleeping, she can usually be found on the golf course or hanging out with friends.
