In Joanne Fluke's "Gingerbread Cookie Murder," Hannah Swensen finds
her neighbour Ernie Kusak with his head bashed in and sprawled on
the floor of his condo next to an upended box of Hannah's
Gingerbread Cookies - and discovers a flurry of murder suspects
that is as long as her holiday shopping list. Jaine Austen, the
heroine of Laura Levine's "The Dangers of Gingerbread Cookies,"
finds herself enlisted to help with her parents' retirement
community's play "The Gingerbread Cookie That Saved Christmas".
Playboy Dr. Preston McCay is playing the role of the gingerbread
cookie when he "accidentally" falls to his death during the final
act. Now Jaine must figure out if one of the doctor's jealous
lovers was capable of murder. In "Gingerbread Cookies and Gunshots"
by Leslie Meier, when Lucy Stone discovers the body of Rick
Juergens, whose five-year-old son Nemo disappeared, she senses foul
play. Crumbs from a gingerbread cookie Lucy gave to Nemo are found
in the back seat of Rick's car. With the hours quickly ticking till
Christmas, Lucy races against the clock to find a killer before he
strikes again.
As all of Tinker's Cove prepares to celebrate Julia Ward Howe
Tilley's 90th birthday, Lucy Stone is preoccupied with the apparent
suicide of the town's oldest attorney. When Lucy turns up an
intriguing tie between the dead man and Miss Tilley, she's on the
trail of a killer.
Fall has come to the peaceful Maine town of Tinker's Cove, and
amidst all the seasonal glory appears the most beautiful sight of
all: the yellow school bus. As parents rejoice and kids grumble,
it's back to school time, and for mother-of-four Lucy Stone, it
isn't a moment too soon. Requested by her twelve-year-old daughter
to "get a life," Lucy has done just that: she has a job at the
local paper and is taking a night class in Victorian English
Literature. As if juggling family, job, and school wasn't enough,
the sometime sleuth now has another mystery to solve. And it starts
with a bang. A bomb goes off with the noon lunch bell at the local
elementary school, but not before all the kids are safely evacuated
and Carol Crane, the new assistant principal, is hailed as a hero.
By the time the smoke clears, the fallout has resulted in murder.
Everyone is stunned when the most popular teacher at school is
arrested for the crime. But not everyone is buying the
open-and-shut case, including Lucy Stone, who senses there's more
to things than meets the eye. Especially when she discovers that
her sexy English professor - who could pose a dangerous temptation
to a happily married woman - may know more about the murder than
he's telling. It soon becomes clear that Lucy is flirting with
danger in more ways than one, as sizzling secrets and explosive
surprises provide a primer for the most diabolical of motives. Hot
on the trail of a clever killer, this seasoned mother of four must
harness the courage and cool aplomb necessary to get to the bottom
of a crime that could be repeated - and just might give Lucy an
education on the fine art of murder.
As excited as Elizabeth is to hit the Big Apple, Lucy's less
thrilled to be heading straight into post-holiday shopping crowds
in the middle of a flu epidemic. But, Elizabeth has won
mother/daughter winter makeovers in Manhattan from Jolie magazine
and Lucy is in. The pampering is nice (never underestimate the
transformative powers of a $500 haircut) and the glitz and glamour
of haute couture is bizarrely fascinating, but bitterness and
aggression lurk behind the Jolie's hipper-than-thou faade. And
things turn downright ugly when self-absorbed fashion editor Nadine
Nelson falls mysteriously ill and then dies. But this Manhattan
murder mystery hits too close to home when Elizabeth gets rushed to
the hospital with symptoms that are disturbingly similar to
Nadine's. Now, it's up to Lucy to dress down a killer before the
ball drops in Times Square...
