Crime & Suspense

In book two of this suspenseful mystery series, it’s Christmas time in picture-postcard-perfect Guilford, Connecticut, but someone’s taking the joy out of the season—with murder. Psychologist and advice columnist Dr. Rebecca Butterman is drawn into a deadly mystery after receiving a midnight plea from the minister at her church. He's in custody after going to a fellow parishioner's home and finding her dead. The minister begs Rebecca to fill in for the murdered woman, the leader of a search committee charged with finding a new assistant pastor after the previous assistant left in a rush. Rebecca learns that the committee was divided—has someone tried to eliminate the competition? She puts her analytical skills to work to do her own search—for a killer—all while resisting the urge to break the seventh commandment with a very married detective, and praying she's not the next victim. Fans of female sleuth series such as Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Schultz culinary mysteries, Cleo Coyle’s coffee shop mysteries, and Susan Wittig Alpert’s China Bayles mysteries will also love Rebecca Butterman.
