As Christmas 1946 draws near, thirty-something marine officer-turned-homicide detective Lane Walker has his hands full. Three men with seemingly no relationship to each other have been murdered, including the powerful District Attorney. The only connection between the crimes? The weapons: twenty-year-old unopened fruitcake tins manufactured by a company that is no longer in business. While some foods may be to die for, fruitcake isn't one of them! This heaping helping of murder will be no easy task for Walker, and he certainly doesn't need the determined and feisty Tiffany Clayton, the political reporter for The Chicago Star, getting in the way. Employing witty dialogue and historical accuracy, The Fruitcake Murders offers equal parts murder, mystery, and mayhem in a perplexing whodunit set in the days just after World War II.

Good, Clean Mystery with a Nostalgic Feel By Karen R Fans of classic detective stories will enjoy this offbeat mystery set in Chicago during the 1946 Christmas season! Still reeling from the aftereffects of the war, veteran Lane Walker finds himself the detective in charge of a case involving a string of murders, with only one clue connecting them: a twenty-year old fruitcake used as a murder weapon. With a cast of colorful characters, including a hardboiled detective, a high-heeled reporter, notorious mobsters, shady Santas, and a one very suave investigator, this reads like a script to a classic detective movie, complete with snappy dialogue. It had me laughing out loud in parts, and gasping in others as the characters dodged bullets and were chased down dark alleys. The tension between Lane and Tiffany had me cringing at times, as their verbal swipes hinted at a painful past. The plot was interesting and complex; it kept me wondering up to the very end about the real villain and connections between all the clues. Concludes with a great wrap up and a hopeful ending. Overall, quite an entertaining read! Recommend to anyone who enjoys a good, clean mystery with a nostalgic feel. Make some popcorn, cue up the Bing Crosby Christmas album, and enjoy! 4.5 stars(Thank you to NetGalley and Abingdon Press for the copy of this book provided in exchange for my honest review.)

It really kept me reading well into the night.This is not a blood and guts story nor is it a cozy mystery, but it holds lots of intrigue and wondering what is going to happen next..I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a bit of escapism and with a good mystery attached - you won't be disappointed.This book as provided to me via NetGalley
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fruitcake Can Be Murder By Upstate New York Reader The first murder occurred in December 1926 - and they convicted and executed the man caught with the murder weapon in his hand.But then the murders started again in December 1946. They were connected - the victims had been drugged and then clobbered with a heavy, full fruitcake can. But there were differences - they came from different cultural groups: the district attorney, the homeless, a hooker. And it would take a newspaper reporter, a police detective, and a private eye to collect the pieces of the puzzle that would bring all the pieces together into a complete picture that gave meaning to the deaths that spanned two decades.The book brings together the right amount of mystery, history, romance, and a bit of faith, to make an interesting story that had to be read quickly to maximize its enjoyment. I wanted to pick the book up every free moment I had - I had to finish it.For the reader looking for an early winter read, The Fruitcake Murders might just fill the need.______________This review is based on a free electronic copy provided by the publisher for the purpose of creating this review.
