What to expect
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me the reason your husband had to die.”
Anna Greenan finds the cryptic lyric shoved against her front door. Each day of Christmas brings Anna a new stanza with a new clue. Will this mysterious Christmas carol lead Anna to uncover her husband’s murderer or will these notes lead to her demise?
Critics Review
“A mystery/thriller with a satisfying romance and lots of twists and turns. The tension never lags. The song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” becomes filled with menace as Anna receives one note a day with a twisted message.”
“Jennifer Bee’s The Killing Carol is not your usual Christmas story. Small town intimacy coupled with deep-rooted secrets gives this book the suspense and twists of a thriller with the hope and faith of a Christmas miracle tale. Jennifer Bee manages to turn ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ into something eerie without losing touch with the joy of the season.”
“Jennifer Bee’s debut novel, The Killing Carol, opens with a satisfying bang. It delivers a clever mystery from the past filled with twists and intrigue. Bee uses the benign ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ as the framework to carry disturbing clues—one dreaded day at a time. With a deft hand, she keeps the reader engaged and guessing. Well done!”
