Silent Night

Read this one completely out of order...But it was one of the few holiday themed books that was still available at my library through Overdrive. I like the Spenser series, so I thought why not. There really wasn't much Christmas in the story - it was more a time and place than a story element. Actually that was kinda nice - so many Christmas-ish stories are maudlin, sappy or overly emotional. I came to think of this as a book equivalent of Die Hard (which is a Christmas movie in my world). While maybe not the best Spenser story, it's a fun break from the usual fare this time of year.
