It's not every day you meet a female mortician, and especially not one who's both beautiful and single. In Bleak Midwinter, the second book in the A Mary Christmas Mystery series, Mary finds herself at the center of a troubling double-homicide investigation even as she falls headlong into romance with police officer, Lance Freeman. Threatened on many fronts, Mary is aided by her dear friends, Silvia and David, who provide answers when Mary seems to need them most. But nothing is as bleak as it seems--even though Mary is forced to deal with an odd assortment of characters: the deceased's grieving sister, a released convict who squats on the funeral home premises, a suspicious lawyer, and Rose Edgewater, her new secretary. Even as Mary's love affair with Lance deepens, so does her intrigue, and her intuition and investigation leads her to a brilliant conclusion in a dark alley . . . and to a stirring reunion with Lance.
Being a funeral director and a coroner is rough business, especially during the Christmas season when love and light are in the air. But Mary takes us, once again, on a heart-warming adventure through the darkest days of death to a marvelous Yuletide discovery. Bleak Midwinter picks up the pace from where Slay Bells leaves off, continuing the Christmas Mystery Series.
