In the fourth book of the "Tow Truck Mysteries", author Karen Whalen delights us with another mystery starring Delaney, a tow truck driver with a love for shoes, and her interesting cast of friends. This mystery takes place in the days leading up to Christmas at a Christkindl Market.
Summary of Storyline
Delaney loves everything about the Christkindl Market. She can spend hours each day wandering through the booths and enjoying all the lights, music, refreshments and decorations.
The book opens with Delaney and her latest boyfriend, Sheriff Ephraim Lopez looking for that perfect Christmas tree at the tree booth at the market. As they wander through the trees they come across a dead body of a woman near the back of the lot.
After her initial shock and concern for the identity of the woman and her family Delaney starts to worry about all of the negative effects this could have on the Christkindl market. Her best friend has a coffee kiosk at the market and Delaney worries about if this will have a negative effect on her sales and that of the other booth operators.
Delaney has a reputation in her town of Spruce Ridge, Colorado of not only being the high heeled tow truck driver but of also being a bit of an amateur detective. When her family and friends are involved, she can't seem to stay away from the investigation. This time is no different and even though she is told to leave this to law enforcement she just can't help herself and proceeds to wander the market questioning people and trying to uncover the guilty party.
Will she discover who is guilty, will the Christkindl Market be saved and will Delaney find the perfect gift for Ephraim? These are all questions you will need to read the book to discover.

Thanks for another fun book review, Mary Beth. These Tow Truck Mysteries sounds like delightful cozy mysteries and I look forward to reading them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your review of another in the Delaney Morran cozy mystery series, Mary Beth. This one, like Toes on the Dash, sounds delightful!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely sounds like a fun book to read. I do believe a dead body would adversely affect the market :) Delaney is much braver than I would be. I would fear interviewing the killer. After all, it could be someone working there that committed the murder.
ReplyDeleteThis cozy mystery series sounds entertaining and a great way to escape into a story, and turn off the day - It being Christmas related makes it a good stocking stuffer gift as well for the avid reader
