Murder in Her Stocking
by McKevett, G. A.
Savannah Reid is the kind of private investigator you want on your side: she is sharp, unapologetically herself, and entirely immune to the pretenses of high-society crime. In this holiday-themed installment, a festive gathering turns sour when a body shows up right in the middle of the seasonal cheer. The story operates on a perfect rhythm of witty banter and genuine stakes, keeping the tone light enough to feel like a comfortable retreat while still delivering a solid puzzle. You are not just reading a mystery here; you are spending time with a vibrant ensemble cast whose friendships feel earned and lived-in. This is the ideal pick for readers who prefer their crime-solving served with a side of humor, strong female agency, and the cozy, sometimes suffocating, intimacy of a small-town community where everyone has something to hide.
