Turkey Trot Murder

Available: September 26, 2017

Thank you to NetGalley.com for the opportunity to read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Lucy Stone is back at it again! Just when you think there isn’t another holiday to revisit – a fresh new murder (or two) in tiny Tinker’s Cover, ME occurs. Almost all of the usual suspects are present in the tale, along with a few new additions. Is it just me or does Tinker’s Cove get a lot of new arrivals for a mildly financially depressed town?

What I loved: While the murderer is a little predictable, the fact that Ms. Meier tackles issues (opiates and immigration) that are plaguing our country is very commendable. Her stance on immigration is neutral yet she manages to portray both sides of the argument via her characters very fairly. Ed seems to be a little Trump-esque in his looks, manner, and wealth yet her drug addicted character is what is most touching.

What I didn’t love: Sue is just a witch of a character – I really don’t understand why she’s so fricken bitter and critical all of the time. Is she really worth having has a friend? More like a frienemy.. Maybe if she actually ate something once in a while she may be a tad but nicer.

What I learned: Doesn’t matter who you spend the holidays with as long as its people you love.

Overall Grade: B
