The Ice Cage (Meg Brown Mysteries Book 5)

When the Twin Cities do winter festivals, they spare no expense - outside taverns with gas heating, photo santa in a sleigh, room made of polished ice with a dead body inside... wait a minute. When such a very public affront to the festival spirit comes up, Homicide Detective Meg Brown must move quick as a reindeer to get the whole thing solved before the vaunted and famous Papa Brown christmas dinner. Thankfully, a 'usual suspect' makes herself clear straight away, but of course nothing is quite so simple.

Can Meg clear the case before one of her suspects ends up dead at the hands of someone else? Can she gather the witnesses and evidence before the Christmas Ham gets cold? Can she ever get enough coffee? And just what does a mysterious night club owner have to do with all of it?

This is the fifth of the Meg Brown Mysteries and the first one of any length. If you haven't read the others, please do. They're fun. You'll probably like them.
