I can't really say I was impressed with this. It's the first time I've ever read this author, so maybe I just didn't pick a good place to start, but I found it hard to finish.
A few days before Christmas, bookseller Claire Malloy determines that she has heard one too many comments about being set in her ways. To quiet such complaints she accepts an invitation from an eccentric customer to a New Age celebration of the winter solstice. An early morning adventure with Malthea, Arch Druid of the Sacred Grove of Keltria, should have been enough to prove that Claire has not yet settled into middle-aged complacency. But the morning's activities provide more than she bargained for once one of Malthea's followers turns up dead. Our heroine sets out to determine whether her new acquaintances are murderous Satanists or only very odd, and, in the process, to discover just who shot whom.
Love ALL of Hess's books! And both series are highly enjoyable! Can't wait for the next one to get published!!
Murder never takes a holiday, as Arkansas bookseller-sleuth Claire Malloy discovers when she celebrates with a Druid ritual, a run-in with a witch, and a far from a ho-hum case of homicide.
Murder, Druids, Christmas, Bookstore Owner. Need I say more?
