The Body in the Sleigh (Faith Fairchild, #18)
by Katherine Hall Page
by Katherine Hall Page
Another new author for me. I put this in the cozy category. Faith Fairchild is the wife of a minister and they are wintering on an island off the coast of Main where they have a summer retreat. Rev. Fairchild is recovering from an illness and is enjoying the peaceful surroundings with Faith and their son and daughter. Just before Christmas, Faith discovers the body of a young girl in a sleigh on town square and reports it to the local police. Now Faith has been known to get involved in a bit of sleuthing (hey it’s a cozy mystery isn’t it?) and doesn’t think the death was an overdose as the police thought. Mean while another islander, Mary, a somewhat reclusive lady who raises goats and makes delicious cheeses, find a basket with a newborn and a bundle of money and a note to take care and raise the boy to be a good man. Mary contacts Faith and they set out to try and identify the mother, which leads Faith in to more puzzles to solve and into a bit of danger as well. Lots of small town atmosphere surrounds the bones of the mystery and keeps the reader involved in the story. Will look for more by this author.
