Who Made Sure Marley Really Was Dead as a Doornail?
Carly is happy to be attending a dress rehearsal of the production of A Christmas Carol that has come to town. However, Preston Lennon, the actor playing Jacob Marley, causes such a disruption they have to take an unscheduled intermission. Then Carly’s friend, Gina, finds Preston’s body in his dressing room. Can Carly clear her friend?

While a play of A Christmas Carol might be familiar in a Christmas cozy, I enjoyed the twist on who the victim was. It led to a strong mystery with plenty to suspects and a logical climax I didn’t see coming. The characters are all fun to be around. I especially enjoyed spending time with the series regulars again, and I appreciated that the warnings to Carly to be careful were toned down in this book. The Christmas spirit is strong; it made me wish I were reading it in December with my decorations already up. There are two recipes at the end, including a Christmas grilled cheese. Grill up a sandwich and enjoy this fun Christmas mystery.

I’m so glad that I got a copy of this to read from NetGalley (yes, I’m late!), as I’ve become a huge fan of Will Trent and Sarah Linton. Will and Sarah have married and at the start of the book they’re hiking in to a remote, yet exclusive, wilderness holiday destination in Georgia. They’re incognito - neither of them wants to be a police officer or a doctor for a few days. But of course, things never run smoothly for this couple, and a murder is soon needing their attention.

This is like the outdoor version of a closed room mystery - all of the suspects are on site. Yet still I was left completely flummoxed. The backstory of some of the characters adds to the confusion and explains a lot!

TIWWL is pretty gruesome, and covers subjects of sexual assault of far too many of the main characters, drug addiction and domestic violence. Karin Slaughter never shies away from these topics. This isn’t for the faint-hearted.

Nevertheless, I loved it. But when will Will and Sarah manage to have a stress free honeymoon?! 🤷🏼‍♀️
