Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen by Vicki Delany
5.0
This book is the first installment in the Year Round Christmas Mystery series by Vicki Delany. I have not previously read anything by this author, who also writes under the name Eva Gates, but I can tell you it will not be the last. I loved this book. While it is a holiday themed book, I think it can be read any time of the year and it would not lose its charm.
I was drawn into this book from the very first pages with the authors description of the town and the Christmas parade. The characters were all well written and I found them to be quirky and fun. The author spins a great tale with wonderful descriptions that engage the reader and allows them to know and love both the characters and the town. The mystery is a strong, solid mystery with plenty of twists and turns. I was surprised to find out the killer's identity at the end and the reason for the mischief in the town following the murder. The pace of the story was just right and I didn't feel there were any lulls or gaps with the story line.
Vicki Delany delivers a wonderful first installment to this series and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Rudolph New York.
