Drowning in Christmas (Kate Lawrence Mysteries)
by Judith Ivie
No. 4 in the Kate Lawrence Mystery Series. When a mysterious death occurs at Hartford's venerable Wadsworth Atheneum, Kate knows the holidays are really going to be murder this year. Christmas has never been Kate's favorite time of year, but this holiday season is enough to make her crazy. MACK Realty is on hiatus due to the down economy. Armando might not make it home by December 24th. Kate is mourning the loss of her adored cat Simon. Daughter Emma has persuaded Kate to stage a Norman Rockwell-type Christmas Eve for her loathsome new beau. And to top off the merriment, her ex-husband has coaxed her to host an at-home wedding for their nephew. Ho ho ho.Kate's positively drowning in Christmas. Can pals Margo and Strutter come to her rescue before she goes down for the third time?
