Christmas Mourning - Giveaway and Review

Mallory Johnson had everything a high school senior could possibly want. She's beautiful, popular, and captain of the cheer leading squad to name just a few. Yet she refuses to commit to just one guy and instead has fun flirting with anyone who is interested.

One dark day in the life of the Johnson family finds life for them has completely changed when Mallory is involved in a car crash that takes her life just days before Christmas. Suddenly the wealthy family has nothing left but each other to hold on to. All they want is answers to how she died. They are willing to stop at nothing no matter what the cost to learn just what happened to their daughter.

Dwight Bryant works for the Sheriff's department and in the process of investigating Mallory's death he too has some unanswered questions. How does a girl lose her life after rolling her vehicle over on a straight stretch of road with only a single set of skid marks? What happened that night to Mallory Johnson?

In the latest mystery novel by Margaret Maron, Christmas Mourning, takes the reader on a criminal investigation into the death of Mallory Johnson in a small town that wants answers before another teen loses their lives on the same stretch of road.

I received this novel compliments of Hachette Book Groups for my honest review. I can honestly say at first the book was difficult to understand the many characters you encounter within the first couple of chapters however Margaret Maron does offer a family tree to help the reader understand the close ties of the families involved. Yet by the middle of the book, you are on the ride of your life as your take unexpected twists and turns in trying to solve the case. I would easily rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
