As murder mysteries go, this was just ok....I expected more in the way of holiday theme, but it was lacking there. I had never read this author before, but suspect there are other books of similar content.

Since Lotte Goldman's TV show specializes in exploring guests' sexual secrets, its employees take the unusual in stride -- but even they are caught off guard when the program's all-around boss, DeAnna Kroll, discovers the body of talent coordinator Maria Gonzalez in a storeroom with her face beaten in. Lotte and her crew are scheduled to hit the road for Philadelphia, where one of her first interviews is to be with ex-FBI agent Gregor Demarkian (most recently featured in Dear Old Dead) and a convicted serial killer. Before the show can begin, high-pitched screams lead Gregor to a second victim, whose face has also been destroyed. Being right on the scene, how can Gregor not help his friend, Philadelphia police detective John Jackman, close in on the killer?
very good
