Kissing Christmas Goodbye by M.C. Beaton
4.0
In this book, Toni is introduced as a young woman who comes from a poor, dysfunctional family, but with good instincts and good luck in detective work.
Agatha is hired by an elderly woman who suspects one of her children is going to murder her before she changes her will and sells everything. She is killed at her her birthday tea, poisoned by hemlock.
Allison, a daughter in law, wants Agatha to uncover the truth, but unfortunately that leads her into the victim’s own past, and she herself was a murderer.
Eventually, Agatha remembers the killer threw her off track, and when she confronts them, they sneak away and try to poison her as well. A son of the dead old woman kills himself, a victim of his cruel mother, who really messed up her children’s’ lives.
Meanwhile, Agatha plans a perfect Dickensian Christmas, and it’s all lovely, with snow from a machine Roy and Charles provide. But, the machine produces a blizzard and ruins everyones’ clothes, leaving her in despair until everyone reminds her how wonderful she’s made the day.
Very good story.
