I don’t know what happened. Every year I stress about what to buy everyone for Christmas. Yesterday I was at my computer shopping and I must have been saying stuff with my outside voice because hubby came over to see what I was grumbling about. My list was long, and there was clearly not enough sugar free wafers on my desk to make it any easier. It was at that moment that he sat down with me and we went through the whole list and finished it. FINISHED IT!!! My Christmas shopping is completely done. We have to wait for things to come in the mail of course, but we are done. I honestly have no idea how I feel right now. I can now go to all the local shops and craft fairs and buy stuff for me. I always see things I would like, but never get anything for myself because I need to buy for others first. What strange freedom is this???

PERDITION (Detective Inspector Munro murder mysteries Book 7)
by Pete Brassett
Genre:
FREE for a limited time
Is a drug death suicide, misadventure, or a cleverly calculated murder? London detective Charlotte West takes on Scotland.
An employee of an investment bank is found dead in his car by a freshwater loch in Ayrshire, Scotland, but there are few signs of foul play.
Indeed, that the man had enough opioid painkillers in him to fell a shire horse, might easily be put down to over-exuberant self-indulgence. But newly promoted and in charge of the investigation, DI Charlie West wants to probe further.
And when the victim’s links to a minor crime involving a dead goat and an assault on an associate come to light, a suspicious motive begins to emerge.
DI West must explore shady financial dealings in the up-market parts of Glasgow, and connections to illicit drugs in its poorer quarters, to track the killer in what is now being treated as a murder investigation.
She is relieved that her mentor, Detective James Munro, once more steps out of his not-so tranquil retirement to lend a hand. His knowledge of the rural areas will be invaluable to a wily but green officer.
Plus, he can run rings around their superior officer which will help when the pressure to solve the case mounts.
