Homicide for the Holidays

By Cheryl Honigford

Book Overview

The second book in the acclaimed Viv and Charlie mystery series, Homicide for the Holidays is a riveting holiday mystery set amidst the glitz of Chicago's radio drama scene and the grime of its taverns and speakeasies.

A hidden key that opens a drawer locked for the past eight years, a mysterious envelope filled with cash, and a threatening note... none of this is what rising radio star Vivian Witchell expects to find in her late father's office. But when Vivian stumbles into trouble, she hardly knows how to steer herself back to safety.

With the handsome and maddeningly practical private detective Charlie Haverman at her side, Vivian spends the holiday season uncovering the details of the last weeks of her father's life, following a sinister trail of clues that leads her directly to one of the most notorious mob bosses of all time, Al Capone.

Customer Reviews

Better than the first one!

The characters really earned some dimensionality in this second book! I enjoyed the characters so much more, even though the lack of communication between characters is always one of my least favourite tropes. Still, I love the connection between Charlie and Viv, and the setting is beautiful and so realistic! I'm learning a lot about the 1930s. I also like the mentions of historical events, which really ground everything.
