Miz Scarlet And The Holiday Houseguests (A Scarlet Wilson Mystery #3) - Plot & Excerpts
From her conversation, I gathered that the last few years of her mother’s decline had taken a toll on the holidays. “It must have been rather lonely for you and your mom,” I commented, as I put some dinner rolls into the oven to heat. “It was.

She had spent her whole life trying to live a healthy life, and then....” Jenny turned away, remembering. “She loved Christmas in New England. The snow, the lights, the decorations...I tried to put up the tree by myself, but it was a real failure. Mr. Torkelson, the neighbor, came over to help me. And his wife took me Christmas shopping, so I could buy presents.” “What about your stepfather? Didn’t he help?” “He kept telling me it was his ‘busy season’ at work.” She rolled her eyes and groaned. I took a stab at the work he was doing. “Partying with his girlfriend?”
