It’s the time of year to begin reading Christmas-themed stories and author Vicki Delany’s REST YE MURDERED GENTLEMEN is a perfect one to start with.

The first installment in her Year-Round Christmas Mystery series, this delightful tale takes place in Rudolph, N.Y., also known as Christmas Town. Opening with the semi-annual Santa Claus parade, the author quickly draws readers into this charming, quaint town that showcases Christmas year-round. The setting is picturesque and will have visions of Christmas dancing in your head.

Merry Wilkinson, owner of Mrs. Claus’ Treasures, believes her float has the best chance of winning in the semi-annual Christmas parade. However, a malfunction causes her float to be disqualified. From there things seems to go downhill fast.

When a visiting journalist is found murdered, tourists begin cancelling reservations and things look grim for the town. As more mishaps occur, Merry is determined to find out who is playing Scrooge and wants Christmas Town to close its doors.

The holiday spirit can be felt throughout this delightful story as the author brings readers realistic and fun characters to get to know. The setting will have you wishing for a winter wonderland to visit.

REST YE MURDERED GENTLEMEN is a heartwarming beginning to what promises to be a fun new series to enjoy no matter the time of the year. This enchanting story delivers entertaining characters, a scenic setting and a murder mystery to solve. A perfect stocking stuffer for the readers on your list.
