Episode 133 - Murder in Christmas River Ep. 2: Old Man Things to Talk About
🕑 Added 2022-12-02 18:29:12 +0000 UTCAfter 16 chapters we finally get a mystery! Who killed the fancy-dressing Gingerbread House judge who flew into town from Arizona? Sure, it's a cliché as old as "The butler did it", but we're about to find out how they do things in Christmas River!
And the answer is apparently booze, and lots of it. Everyone in this book, from the rugged ex-cop to the adorkable pie baker, is just plastered all the time. During the brief moments of sobriety, will Cinnamon pull it together in time to solve the mystery? She will not, frankly, despite being named the primary suspect, she doesn't even really seem to care. She's too busy pining over teenage crushes and cattily insulting her former co-worker. AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT!
Loads of Christmas cheer (dogs with indigestion, meth, and potentially despondent tourists stepping in front of buses.) Plus a very tricky Real or Fanfic and video of drunk Ed McMahon, who would fit in quite well in Christmas River.
Assignment: Finish the damn book (which you can get here.)

Thank you!

I got the culprit wrong, but only because I was "overthinking it". I thought Muldoon was going to throw us a curveball. I didn't realize what kind of book I was reading. lol

Went ahead and spoiled both the murderer and the phrase that Mike was trying to find in Book 2. Mostly I just wanted to see if the character had already been introduced or we were going to a 64 Squares and it was a name that came out of nowhere. Not gonna lie, even just listening to the podcast I'd already pegged them as the killer, and I don't feel smart about it at all.

I enjoy playing along with Real or Fanfic, and I'm with Mike, this one is hard.
