Hard Christmas by Barbara D'Amato
Cat Marsella researches the Christmas tree industry in Holland, Michigan and stays with a family.
The whole family welcomes her from all the members. Henry DaGraw has recently died due to an accident that could've been avoided.
She loves the youngest Nell and helps her by bringing friendship and just sitting to listen to her troubles. Nell thinks somebody killed her grandfather and told Cat a little about the accident.
Love hearing about trees and that industry as my family comes from the nursery side of the same trees. Also there are letters from the 1800's and the talk of the ice house is a learning experience as I've read many books recently about this same thing.
Others open up to Cat after the farm worker was found dead. They tell her what they know about the man and the last time they had seen him.
Learning about what each of the saws do is good information for pruning or cutting trees and what each of the colorful tags at the tops mean.
There are troubles, money and land rights that are problems to some.
She works with the police to try to trap the killer and tells the police what her plans are....
