Have no fear when Mom is on the case!

When the Reverend Chuck Candy is found shot to death three days before Christmas, there's only one person in all of small town Mesa Grande, Colorado who can solve the case: Mom. Chief Investigator of the Public Defender's office Dave asks for her help in clearing an innocent man charged with the reverend's death--and Mom leads him to discover a web of unlikely connections and sinister intentions.

"Mom, dispensing advice along with her pot roast, is invaluable. This book is carefully plotted, leaves ample clues, yet manages several surprises." -- Publishers Weekly
