It seemed appropriate to read a book with a Christmas background so I chose this one. Yes, it's about murder but also about a brother/sister relationship. So enjoyed how Emma and her brother, Ben, related to each other. Their conversations and their interactions demonstrate so well how two close siblings can be.

It all begins with a leg being found in the river by a fisherman. Gruesome? Yeah, it is but that's only the beginning. The next finding is a complete body. Now there appears to be two murders but who are they? Male or female? An arm is discovered in the river. Many people suspect the strange young man who lives in a cabin in the woods until his cabin burns down fortunately without him in it. What is going on?

The bodies are identified as women who were roommates. How did they get to Alpine? They seem to have a connection with the young wife of a local young man as well as other women who went to private schools.

This is a good read with a plot that leads the reader about until the author begins giving clues about an unexpected individual who is strong and very organized. Close the climax I had determined who the murderer was but not why the murders were committed. Yes, this is a quick and enjoyable mystery. Try it!
