What a great deal. Two full length mysteries. I enjoy reading both Barbara Burnett Smith and Fred Hunter's books. They both write fun cozy mysteries with interesting characters and tight plots. Enjoy!

Two years after the Yuletide murder of her brother Nathan closed Hawthorne House, her bed-and- breakfast outside upstate LeFavre, Michigan, Sara Bartlett is ready to reopen. Her first pair of guests--Chicago homicide detective Jeremy Ransom and his grandmotherly friend Emily Charters, recuperating from open-heart surgery (Ransom for Our Sins, 1996, etc.)--couldn't be more suitable...- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Lots of falling snow, warm muffins, children's choirs ... and a few dead bodies are laced into this satisfying mystery that makes it just right for a cozy read by the Christmas tree.

Mystery traditionalists will enjoy Hunter's careful plotting and thrills of a chaste and purely cerebral nature.

The relationship between Ransom and Charters is almost as much fun to read as the mystery plot. If your Christmas holidays are always uneventful or unsatisfying, read about theirs. It was lots more interesting.
