A Catered Thanksgiving

A Catered Thanksgiving
by Isis Crawford

This cozy blends elements from the "golden age of mysteries" with modern day humor. Our intrepid heroines, Bernie and Libby Simmons, are stranded by a blizzard in a large country home with the bickering Fields family. Bernie and Libby are hired by the Fields to cater their Thanksgiving dinner. While Bernie and Libby pack their catering van with all the fixings for a sumptuous Thanksgiving feast the snow starts falling. By the time they are ready to leave the snow is falling in a heavy white curtain. They slip and slide their way out of tiny Longely, New York and down the country roads to Monty Fields' mansion where they will prepare the traditional dinner for Monty and his greedy relatives. Monty comes into the kitchen to check on the roasting bird. As he taps on the red, pop-up timer the turkey explodes killing Monty. The Fields family initially blames Bernie and Libby because they prepared the felonious fowl. The family soon starts pointing accusing fingers at each other. Lexus, Monty's widow, asks Bernie and Libby to investigate because she is afraid that one of the clan will kill her in order to inherit a larger share of the estate.
