I thought BURNING HEARTS, the first of the Sanctuary Point trilogy was a super good read, but Nike Chillemi surpasses herself in the second of the series.  The characters in GOODBYE NOEL could step off the pages into a real crime scene or step into your living room bringing a cozy family atmosphere in this fast paced crime novel.When Katrina finds a young woman's dead body under a Christmas tree, she is shocked, but discovering the woman's young baby asleep in a crib snatches her heart.  Since she's a pediatric nurse, and there appears to be no family members, Katrina is allowed to take the child home with her, where she vows to defend it against the world, including Detective Ian Daltry.  Not being able to protect her own heart from Detective Daltry, she opens it up and lets him in. They put their lives at risk as they work together to find the murderer while protecting those they love.Ms. Chillemi, is right on in the customs, speech and dress of the post WW2 era. I anxiously await the third book of her trilogy.
