The I recently found this author so I haven't read very many of this series but those I have read those I have read are very good police procedurals. The 12th inste of Sukey Reynolds series has Sukey working with Vicky to solve a murder where the woman's body is thrown in the garbage bin. She was stabbed in several places and bleed out. The knife is located and belongs to a neighbor, Marcus Ellerman, who was constantly arguing with the victim. All the clues point to Marcus when a second murder occurs. It didn't seem that the two murders are connected but Sukey feels that they might be committed by the same person. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing.

A Good one to curl put on Christmas songs and enjoy the season. I was disappointed with the book. I did not enjoy the descriptions of how to cook a recipe entirely, I how the protagonist, Pamela treated her nineteen year daughter, Penny was not correct. The cats did not really access to the story as it seems they were included to add words for the story. The scence in the Manson did not do much for me.
