Jill and co are spending Thanksgiving holiday at coastal town Oregon. A mummified body was found in the sand. A lot of cooking and eating going on while Jill, Greg and local sheriff look for the killer. ( ) This short novella is a quick read, but still manages to contain all the ingredients for a satisfying mystery. Jill and her companions are on a week-long vacation, but a woman’s disappearance several months earlier casts a shadow on the foursome’s getaway. Their hosts explains that the disappearance of their son’s fiancée has left him despondent. When the group discovers a mummified body buried in the sand, the son becomes the number one suspect in her murder. Jill begins her own sleuthing to save the son, with Greg’s blessing and his help. It’s an intriguing and fast-paced mystery with all the essentials but no fillers, great for an afternoon’s entertainment. Jill Gardner and her boyfriend set out with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving on the coast of Oregon. The weekend starts out with a mystery of a mummified body on the beach and Jill has to figure it out, who is it? what happened? The characters and plot were so well-written that the story just zoomed by. The Novellas are great because we as readers don't have to wait as long for our next fix of Jill and Greg! A Very Mummy Holiday was the perfect Thanksgiving read featuring a holiday getaway that definitely didn't go as planned. Jill and her friends were looking forward to a holiday weekend away when they end up finding the mummified remains of a missing woman. When the group's host for the weekend find their son the number one suspect, Jill and her friends decide to try and prove his innocence. Cahoon does a great job as usual creating such an entertaining read with such a short length. I really enjoyed seeing Kathi and Blake joining Jill and Greg for a change because it provided a different kind of dynamic to the story. Although I still did love the appearance of favorite secondary characters as well. The book's mystery is well done and definitely captures the reader's interest from the beginning and never lets go. A Very Mummy Holiday was a perfect holiday read that I would most definitely recommend. I look forward to reading Jill's next adventure. Received a copy of A Very Mummy Holiday through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. A Very Mummy Holiday by Lynn Cahoon is A Tourist Trap Novella. It can be read on its own, but I recommend reading one of the full-length stories first. Jill Gardner and Greg King are off to enjoy a week in Oregon, but things do not go as planned. I like that Jill is an empathetic person. She will not stand idly by while a person gets railroaded. I thought the story was engaging with friendly, relatable main characters. I like Lynn Cahoon’s conversational writing style. A Very Mummy Holiday moves along at a fast clip and the mystery is well-plotted. When Caleb’s missing fiancé, Dania turns up in the sand dunes, Caleb is the target of the local police’s investigation. Jill does a little online sleuthing searching for clues about Dania’s life. I like that Greg does not discourage Jill and he helps Jill with her quest for the truth. Readers will have no problem identifying the guilty party in this whodunit. However, I thought the mystery suited the length of the novel and the storyline. Jill and Greg are a cute couple who are well suited. I like that Jill brought Emma along with her on the trip. The one thing I wondered, though, is why Jill and Greg went off with this couple that they hardly knew. It is especially odd since Jill has very little in common with Kathi (my mother said I was overthinking it). A Very Mummy Holiday is a chance to catch up with Jill and the gang. A Very Mummy Holiday is an engaging cozy mystery with an energized Emma, a forlorn fiancé, iniquitous individuals, a coastline cadaver and stuffing squabbles. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
