The Snow Lies Deep

A Mercy Carr Mystery

By: Paula Munier

Narrated by: Kathleen McInerney

The latest thrilling installment in the bestselling Mercy Carr mystery series

Mercy and Troy are looking forward to baby Felicity’s first holiday season, and they’re determined to make it a Christmas to remember. At Northshire’s annual Solstice Soirée, hosted by Northshire’s finest and funded by Mercy’s billionaire pal Feinberg, Amy’s little girl Helena is sitting on Santa Claus’s lap. She’s telling him she’d like a Bitty Baby doll just like little Felicity when the bearded man leaps up, thrusts the toddler at her mother Amy, and staggers away from the festivities. He disappears into the woods. By the time Elvis and Mercy find him, Santa Claus aka the town mayor, is lying on his back, dead. A yule log made of oak sits on his chest, burning bright, a beacon of light on the darkest day of the year.

This strange murder is the first of a series of similar Solstice-themed killings targeting the town’s most prominent citizens. Beloved family friend Lillian Jenkins, the grande dame of Northshire, could be next. Mercy and Troy and the dogs must team up with Thrasher and Harrington to capture The Yuletide Killer before he strikes again, this time far closer to home.

Wonderful Christmas Story AND Multiple Civic Service and Musteries

Loved this story. Such imagery everywhere! Tight writing with much going on but great flow. Would have liked more incidences and imagery, description, team to do with the dogs. But with still merging two families and Christmas traditions taking shape. Rich events with loads of imagery. Loved the subject of organisms, so much traditional and brought into their commitment to Church and exciting mystery and suspense domestic and criminal. So much Love and romance. good humor.

The descriptions led me to believe I was there

I loved the research, accuracy and the large amounts of information about Hawaii, trafficking, wildlife, and the story line..now I have another place on my bucket list. Thank you to all involved in getting this produced.
..and the romance was just a little to perfect.
Looking forward to the next book...
