From Grouch to Grinch...to Ghost

Hillside Manor's neighbors all adored proprietor Judith McMonigle Flynn's festive suggestion to deck the halls and houses in their cul-de-sac with eye-catching Christmas finery — exceptEnid Goodrich.  The grumpy old humbug refused to cooperate.  Then someone cooked her Christmas goose — silencing Enid's objections with a handy hatchet.  Though Judith's already got a lot under her tree — what with holidy business booming and the anticipated unwanted arrival of hubby Joe's soused ex-spouse — she's not about to let murder mess up what's left of her seasonal spirit.  With the help of irrepressible cousin Renie, Judith's determined to wrap up this case for Christmas — and expose the Scrooge-slayer who felt strongly that the only Goodrich is a Deadrich.

Review:

"Judith and Renie are sleuths to treasure...Daheim writes with wit, wisdom, and a big heart."(-- Carolyn Hart)

About the Author

Seattle native Mary Richardson Daheim began reading mysteries when she was seven. She started writing them when she was eleven, but her career as a published novelist didn't begin until much later. After graduating from the University of Washington's School of Communications, Daheim worked on small-town newspapers and in corporate public relations. Her goal to write fiction remained in place, however, and she began publishing the Bed-and-Breakfast series in 1991, adding the Alpine mysteries a year later. She is married to David Daheim, and the couple lives in Seattle. They have three grown daughters — Barbara, Katherine, and Magdalen. Daheim received the Pacific Northwest Writers Association 2000 Achievement Award "for distinguished professional achievement and for enhancing the stature of the Northwest literary community."
