Appraisal:
When Grams finds a baby on her doorstep on Christmas Eve, she thinks
he’s the answer to her prayers. She names him Herbie. Olive nor Lizzy want to
turn Herbie over to Child Protective Services on Christmas Eve. With baby
Herbie safely tucked away at Lizzy’s house, Olive, Grams, and WonderDog head
back to Grams’ house.
Soon the focus of who baby Herbie is changes to how to protect him and
his mother from the thugs who are chasing them. Olive is only armed with her
trusty can of hairspray, Grams with her large brass candle stick, and
WonderDog. They become trapped with a thug at the front door and another at the
back door. Can Olive and gang stay hidden until the police arrive? These
bargain basement thugs have no idea what they are in for.
Ms. Silkstone is an entertaining storyteller. Her plots are well
thought out, clever, and endearing. This is a short read, but well worth your
time. Enjoy!
FYI:
Grams'
Christmas Baby is book 5 in Ms. Silkstone’s, COLD CREAM MURDERS
series. “Each book contains a recipe for homemade cosmetics!”
