Duck The Halls




I am going to start off my holiday quest with a crazy Christmas Caper.  . On December 21st, Michael and Meg are startled awake by the buzz of a pager under Michael’s pillow. As a college professor turned volunteer firefighter, this is Michael’s first emergency call. Meg, ever curious, decides to tag along.

The fire fighters rush to the New Life Baptist church expecting a blaze only to find there is no fire.  It is much stranger than that. They find a bunch of skunks who have sprayed the caretaker while he was in the church checking the building.  The church reeks to high heaven and now all of their holiday events including their famous choral concert is in jeopardy.   

Though not a member of this church, Meg steps in to coordinate the available spaces in among the other Houses of Worship in town, 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 different church. What seemed like harmless pranks escalates quickly ,when a body turns up. Now, amateur sleuth Meg must unravel the mystery before the holiday season is completely derailed. 
I give this book a rating of one Ho out of a possible Ho Ho Ho
