Duck The Halls




I am going to start off my holiday quest with a crazy Christmas Caper.  It all starts on December 21st.  Michael and Meg are woken from their sleep by a pager under Michael's pillow.  Michael is a professor at the local college who has become a Volunteer Fire Fighter and this is his first fire.  Meg goes along for the ride.

The fire fighters are directed to the New Life Baptist church where it turns out there is no fire.  What they find instead is a bunch of skunks who have sprayed the caretaker when he was in the church checking on something.  The church smells to high heaven and now all of their holiday events including their famous choral concert is in jeopardy.   

Although Meg is not a member of this church she steps in to coordinate the available spaces in the other Houses of Worship only to have to keep on rescheduling when an Emerald Boa ends up in the Episcopal  church and a ton of ducks are found in another  church.  While these pranks are annoying that is all they are until a body shows up.  Amateur sleuth Meg will do her part.

I give this book a rating of one Ho out of a possible Ho Ho Ho
