The Red, Red Snow by Caro Ramsay

A man is stabbed to death at big Christmas event at the mall.  They have no suspects.  Then on Christmas Eve a couple is killed at a house where there was a big party earlier.  Again there are no suspects...

Severn House and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published June 2nd.

It's a small private gated area so they begin looking over all the families.  Many of them have secrets.  Among those secrets some are not all normal.  Some have mental health problems.

They question everyone.  Some think it must be the rumored monster that lives in the woods.  Their main suspect is young man who had blood on him from the dead man.  He had gone to clean up after the party and said he found the man dead.  As it happens, the man died from natural causes.  But his wife didn't.

The more they talk to, the cloudier it gets.  They begin talking to the teenagers and they can tell some are lying.  They keep pressing.

The worst part was that the deaths were unnecessary.  It's sad what some will do for love...
