Turkey Trot Murder
Turkey Trot Murder | Leslie Meier
22 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
Its late autumn in Tinkers Cove, Maine, and the last surviving flowers on Lucy Stones porch have fallen victim to the first frost of the season. But as the part-time reporter learns, this cold November morning will claim more than potted plants . . . Besides the annual Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving Day, Lucy expects the approaching holiday to be a relatively uneventful oneuntil she finds beautiful Alison Franklin dead and frozen in Blueberry Pond. No one knows much about Alison, except that she was the daughter of wealthy investor Ed Franklin and struggled quietly with drug addiction. Police blame her death on an accidental overdose, but Lucy cant understand what terrible forces could lead a privileged woman to watery ruin . . . Alisons funeral service is just as puzzling. Many believe Eds youngand very pregnantnew wife, Mireille, divided the family, leaving Alison to wither on the vine. Did Mireille truly adore her stepchild as Ed claims, or did she pit father against daughter for personal gain? As a state of unrest descends on Tinkers Cove, Lucy is thrown into a full-scale investigation. Now, in a race against time, Lucy must beat the killer to the finish lineor she can forget about stuffing and cranberry sauce . . .

Finished this yesterday but didn‘t get a chance to post!
Another fun installment of the series, though it touches on some heavy issues, like drug addiction and anti-immigration ideology.

Another cozy Lucy Stone mystery for #BookedByHoliday. Quick and easy reads. This one hit harder on political and social issues than the others I‘ve read.

I was going to save this for another week or so, but I got on a roll! In some ways this is a “standard” cozy mystery, but it touches on serious issues such as drug addiction and anti-immigrant sentiments. The murder segment is a little weak, but I liked the main character and especially her little asides. For example, she riffs about the Real Simple magazines found in a doctor‘s waiting room, and it‘s so accurate!

Susanita There‘s no cat in this story, but I loved this frame that Pic Collage suggested. (There is a dog, however.) 1y

Since I wasn‘t sure if I could walk at the Turkey Trot this year (I probably could but even more slowly 🐢 than usual), I‘m volunteering to help register participants and give out packets. It‘s going to be #chilly in the morning. What was I thinking?!?

Also, I need to read the tagged book!

1. Green bean casserole. It‘s always underdone.
2. Sci-fi
3. Instagram
4. One large orange cat named Ozzy. My sweet boy!
5. I‘ve been liking them all over the place!

ChrysFey I also don‘t like green bean casserole. For me, it‘s the cream of mushroom soup because I don‘t like mushrooms. 🤢 6y
Suelizbeth @ChrysFey There‘s so much other good food. 6y
ChrysFey @Suelizbeth exactly! 6y
janeycanuck Oh no! Green bean casserole is one of my favs - our family recipe has a LOT of Swiss cheese in it. Nom nom nom. 6y
Suelizbeth @janeycanuck I think our family recipe needs a redo. 🤢 6y

While out for a cold morning jog, Lucy discovers the body of a wealthy young woman frozen in Blueberry Pond. As she gathers information for the Pennysaver newspaper Lucy discovers racial and familial tensions brewing in her small New England town.
