Havill’s irresistible 23rd mystery set in tiny Posadas County, N.Mex. (after 2017’s Easy Errors), combines a police procedural with a complex family saga. One snowy evening a few days before Christmas, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman receives a report that two-year-old Derry Fisher has been found abandoned by the side of a road. The police pick up Derry’s father, Darrell, and jail him overnight. Later, while out on bail awaiting sentencing for reckless endangerment of a child, the hapless Darrell turns up dead in his truck in what appears to be a suicide. Meanwhile, Estelle goes looking for errant U.S. Forest Service range tech Myron Fitzwater, who some believe has simply eloped with his sweetheart. With two such easy cases, Estelle is looking forward to a quiet family Christmas, until the autopsy shows that Darrell was murdered, and Myron proves to be a much more complicated individual than expected. Havill’s inviting world welcomes newcomers and keeps fans happily coming back for more.

Three days before Christmas, a Posadas County, NM, deputy finds a two-year-old walking his scooter alongside the highway. It won't be a happy holiday for little Derry Fisher's family. His father is thrown in jail and once bailed out is found shot to death in his pickup. At first it appears to be suicide, until evidence indicates otherwise. Sheriff Robert Torrez is convinced the man was murdered, as another shooting death arouses more suspicion. While Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman juggles a Christmas celebration with a surprise visit from her two sons, Torrez is determined to find the killer despite the holiday and outlandish stories told by residents of the community where the victims lived. Havill follows Easy Errors with a character-driven police procedural that combines a step-by-step murder investigation with the heartwarming reunion of the Reyes-Guzman family. VERDICT This compelling novel contrasts the loving family and community life shared by Reyes-Guzman and her retired mentor, Sheriff Bill Gastner, with the troubled lives led by victims and criminals in the county. Series devotees will eagerly welcome this latest installment.{amp}mdash;Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN
