Nora and Harvey Nathaniel are trying to make their Thanksgiving celebration a very special and happy one. Their daughter, Grace, has just become engaged to Jacob Giordano and Jacob’s mother insists that they spend Thanksgiving in the Giordano family home.
Nora and Harvey are willing to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with Jacob at his family’s home. In fact, they are ready to do just about anything to ensure Grace and Jacob's happiness.
Tensions are running high in the Giordano’s household. They ratchet even higher when, in the middle of the night, there is a terrible scream and a man’s body is found at the bottom of the stairs.
Nora sets out to find the killer, even though the Police Chief dismisses her help as mischief and idol curiosity. When a second murder occurs, Nora’s problems are compounded.
Who killed these people? Are the killings related? Will there be more murders? What is the motive for the murders? Does someone hold a grudge against the Giordano family? Perhaps the trouble is due to Jacob's wanting to marry Grace, rather than the woman chosen by his mother!
Nancy McGovern continues to write stories that keep the reader entertained and reading well into night, unless they can force themselves put the book down (which is no easy task). They challenge the reader to determine the culprit's identity! The chapters are short enough to let the reader convince themselves with, “Just one more chapter, then I’ll go to sleep.”

Nora's daughter is all grown up and looking forward to her wedding. Nora wants to be happy for Grace, but the groom's family is nuts! Especially the soon to be mother in law for Grace. But that isn't Nora's biggest problem, she is the prime suspect in a murder case, so she might be in jail when the happy couple says I do. Can she find the real killer before then? Maybe it is the groom's crazy mother? Who is it? You will have to read this book to find out.

Nancy McGovern has done it again! Outstanding performance in a story with many twists and mayhem. The author allows readers to join in the mystery of family held secrets. Characters involved throughout this one have many differences but show how even at the worst, truth always wins. I can hardly wait to read the next book in this series

Sometimes the road to hell was truly paved with good intentions, The Truth shall set you free. It is not flesh and blood that make us family, but the heart. Okay, enough of that stuff. I really had trouble writing a review without giving something away. I enjoyed the story and highly recommend the book.

Great mystery, Nora and Harvey's daughter Grace gets engaged, and they are invited to Thanksgiving at the soon in laws home. Of course, things don't go well and a murder was the icing on the cake. This was a real hard on to figure out and to put down, if you like a good mystery, this is for you.

Great story..............
I enjoyed this adventure of the unusual Thanksgiving day celebration, the evening and morning where a little different than most feasts. The addition of mystery and romance helped it along.

I enjoyed the story although with a family like Jacob's, Grace should have run away very fast; and yet somehow after the resolution to the murder case the entire family changes to normal - odd!?! Still one of the more enjoyable reads from both Milburn series.
