The Garrote

A yuletide tradition turns deadly...It's Christmas in St. Jude Without, Newfoundland, the season when pagan roots burst through the thin veil of civilization and chaos reigns. First a minister is brutally murdered, then a priest. Carmel and Inspector Darrow are thrown together again to stop this deadly purge, but can they solve this before yet another Christian leader loses her life? And can Carmel win the attention of the handsome Scots policeman, or will she mess this one up too...If you like small town mysteries and romantic suspense laced with humor, you'll love The Garrote.
