We're reading Death in a Turkey Town by Melanie Jackson for our November 24th meeting. Since this meeting is the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and we'll probably be busy, we're reading a novella instead of a longer publication.
Amazon says:

Welcome to Hope Falls, where Autumn is in the air…
"Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch."

Can Chloe do the seemingly impossible and also be maid of honor at her cousin's wedding when the groom is her main suspect?
