It’s another hectic holiday
season in Tinker’s Cove, Maine. But Lucy Stone, a reporter for the town’s weekly paper,
The Pennysaver, has more on her mind than Christmas presents and holiday cheer. This
year, she’s in charge of the annual Christmas cookie exchange, which turns into more of a
catfight than a fun holiday tradition when bitterness and jealously put a damper on the
Christmas spirit.
The next morning, Tucker Whitney, one of the women
from the cookie exchange, is found strangled in her home, and suddenly people are afraid
to walk the streets alone. And to make matters worse, there’s an ever-increasing drug
problem in their sleepy little oceanfront lobster town, and it’s directly affecting two
of Lucy’s kids.
While the police search for Tucker’s killer, Lucy
decides to do a little informal investigating of her own and uncovers a few of the town’s
dangerous little secrets.
Christmas Cookie Murder mixes serious
mystery and suspense with a little bit of light holiday cheer. Ms. Meier weaves several
plot lines together to create a solid story that, for the most part, all fits together in
the end. The mystery may not be all that hard to solve—and it may be a bit over-the-top
at times (with all the drugs and murder and fire and theft, Tinker’s Cove sometimes
sounds more like then inner-city than a small town in Maine)—but it’s also a good way to
wind down after a long day of Christmas shopping.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
