“Christmas in July” is a term we’ve all
heard. From what I’ve read, it started in 1933 in Brevard, North Carolina at a
girls’ summer camp. Someone got the idea and it spread. In Australia and New
Zealand, people celebrate “an improvised yuletide holiday” in July because, for
them, it’s the winter season. Now, retailers use the term as an advertising
ploy to entice customers to spend more money.
In the spirit of the "season," I’m offering a paper copy of Unfinished Business, the second novel in my Malone mystery series, to someone who leaves a comment on this post.
The Westwood Strangler is dead.
Or so everyone believes.
Ann Kern is busy preparing for her favorite holiday. She’s especially looking forward to her sister’s annual Christmas visit. But, several things threaten to ruin her festive mood.
The National Weather Service issues a severe winter storm warning for the Cincinnati area, predicting blizzard conditions, and Ann worries that her sister and her new boyfriend won’t be able to make the drive from South Carolina.
Then, a woman is found strangled
in Ann’s neighborhood and everyone, including the police, assumes it’s the work
of a copycat killer. However, when two more women are murdered in their homes,
the police announce their conviction that the Westwood Strangler is responsible.
When Ann hears the news, the sense of safety and security she’s worked so hard to recapture since her attack on Halloween night, shatters. If the intruder who died in her apartment wasn’t the Westwood Strangler, who is? And, who will be the next victim?
