‘A Very Mummy Holiday’ is an odd title for this Lynn Cahoon novella since it implies a Halloween theme yet is based around Thanksgiving with an unwrapped body found in a sand dune.
A long-needed vacation is what Jill Gardner, Greg King, and friends are looking forward to but which quickly goes astray when an overturned sand buggy literally lands on top of a buried body. There were rumors of a runaway bride and her jilted groom (or was he her killer), but there were more questions than evidence until the body showed up.
Lynn Cahoon does her best to tie all the parts of this short story together, but where some aspects are drawn out, other conclusions are leapt to without enough meat or reasonable supposition to lead the reader there naturally. Unfortunately, this is yet another holiday-themed novella that missed the mark.
