Synopsis:
Down the mountain from Sweet Pepper,
Tennessee is Christmas Tree Valley, a place filled with hundreds of
Christmas tree farms where generations of growers have made people’s
lives brighter. Yet even here in this quiet, postcard-perfect corner of
the world, darkness and murder can still stalk the night.
Federal Wildlife Agent Bonnie Tuttle has
always had a special gift with wild animals. It was one of the reasons
she decided to train with the wildlife agency. She’s spent the last ten
years in Alabama working, but her mother needs her home and she’s back
despite all the bad parts of her life she hoped to leave behind.
Her first day home begins with a fire on
the island in Sweet Pepper Lake and the death of Harvey Shelton, the
wildlife agent she’s supposed to replace. Bonnie manages to rescue
dozens of animals from the fire – including a wolf pup that was shot
with the same bullet that killed Harvey.
Now she’s hot on the trail of Harvey’s
killer and trying to reintegrate the wolf back into the wild even though
he seems to want to stay with her. Yet old memories persist in the
small community where she grew up, and the killer now seems to believe
that she has what he killed Harvey for. All she has to do is figure out
what that is before it’s too late.

My review: Murder Fir Christmas by Joyce and Jim Lavene
4 STARS
I liked this story. Some of the secondary characters are familiar from Sweet Pepper series. I like Bonnie the main character. She has moved home to take the Wildlife Game position and help her mom.
Bonnie really cares about saving the wildlife where she can. Before she even makes it all the way home she is called to a fire to rescue animals. Where murder happens around her. She also ends up with a wounded wolf pup she rescues.
This has mystery, humor and a touch of paranormal that combine to entertain you. I would love to see more of these characters again. It is a clean read.
I was given this ebook to read for free in return for a honest review.
