Six Geese A-Slaying by Donna Andrews

4.0

Another fun book in this series. Meg and Michael are celebrating their first Christmas as a married couple and Michael is trying to get tenure at the college where he works and Meg bows to pressure by a prominent member of the tenure committee to organize the Caerphilly holiday parade. They have a yard full of parade floats, animals, bands, and lots of people all getting ready for the parade. The man playing Santa is murdered and even though Meg doesn't want to actively hunt for the murderer she ends up helping out.
Meg's family is involved as usual in many of the town's activities and the parade. There is a snow storm which strands quite a few people at Meg's house for awhile. The chief of police is there and he is trying to figure out who the killer is. There are quite a few suspects as the victim had been blackmailing people. Meg is trying to sort thru the possible suspects. The animals figure prominently in the story as in previous stories and some of the other characters have their own quirks and are a bit bumbly but lots of fun.
