The Body In The Sleigh (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

This was a freebie, or nearly so. I read it because it was Christmastime. It revolves around a good girl gone bad who is found dead of an overdose on a sleigh in the middle of an island town in Maine. A week earlier a newborn was found in a goatshed not far away. (The connection is not as direct as you might think.) The sleuth is the wife of a minister who is recovering from surgery in their summer home on the island. The book is ok. Not a bad way to spend the time on the train going to visit my daughter in Philadelphia for Christmas. This series of mysteries is one of my comfort foods :-) Reading a Faith Fairchild mystery with a bag of chips and a cozy blanket is a perfect evening of entertainment. Usually her stories are set in Metrowest Boston but I the setting for this one was an island in Penobscot Bay, Maine, near where we go for vacation every September. These mysteries are solidly written, have a good story, and likeable characters. They also prominently mention food, and have some awesome sounding recipes included.
