I loved seeing all of my favorite secondary characters back for another adventure, and I especially loved seeing Bill get more of a focus as he got caught in the middle of things as well. I like how Meier brought current hot topics (immigration and drug addiction) to the small town setting as Lucy herself got to see how these issues effect everyone. Turkey Trot Murder is a great holiday themed book because it is all about family, togetherness, and the goodness of people that surrounds us even in dark times. I always love and look forward to Meier's holiday themed books because I always enjoy spending my own holiday with my favorite characters. These mysteries spark a debate about current events as the townspeople of Tinker Cove see how these hot topics hit close to home.
Now Lucy and her loved ones inadvertently become involved in not one but two murder mysteries.
During her training for the trot, she comes across a dead body. I look forward to reading the next A Lucy Stone Mystery when it is published. I really appreciate the lovely ending and how the author wrapped up all the storylines. The mystery was absorbing, and I liked following the clues to solve the case. I like the humor that is injected into the story creating many laugh out loud moments (which I really needed since I read this while we were without power after Hurricane Irma). Meier creates such engaging, personable characters (Lucy, Bill, Rachel, Pam, Ted) and a charming town (that is facing some troubles). I give Turkey Trot Murder 5 out of 5 stars (I loved it). Ed Franklin will remind readers of a real life figure that holds a high political office in our country. Meier tackled the issues of opiate dependency and immigration. There is plenty of action in Turkey Trot Murder (murder and mayhem-just the way I like it). Lucy has certainly changed since readers were introduced to her (and her family) in Mistletoe Murder. It is always delightful to revisit Lucy Stone and her family. It has a nice easy writing style and flow that makes for a pleasurable read. Turkey Trot Murder is well-written and engaging. Things are heating up in Tinker’s Cove and Lucy will need to work quickly if the town is to have a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving!
Locals are in an uproar over this new addition thanks to Ed Franklin (he is lumping the Rodriguez family in with Mexican drug dealers). Chef Rey Rodriguez has purchased the Olde Irish Pub and plans to turn it into Cali Kitchen. Lucy, however, is unsure that drugs were Alison’s undoing. Alison’s death is blamed on drugs which has been a problem recently in the local area. The victim is Alison Franklin, daughter of new board of health member, Ed Franklin. Show More the body of a girl and immediately contact the police.
