When a killer threatens a talk show host, Demarkian must take to the air
Sex, sex, and more sex—this is the formula for a hit talk show. No one knows this better than Lotte Goldman, host of television’s most outrageous chat show, but even she is getting bored of her sensational interviews. To break the routine, she and her producer—the towering, dynamic DeAnna Kroll—take the show to Philadelphia to film a conversation between ex-FBI agent Gregor Demarkian and a convicted serial killer. But before they hit the road, a murder hits them. Lotte’s talent coordinator is found dead in a closet, her face battered beyond recognition, and a second victim appears soon after they arrive in Philadelphia. To save the most popular woman on TV, Demarkian leaps into a cat-and-mouse game so twisted that it’s perfect for premium cable.

From Publishers Weekly
Since Lotte Goldman's TV show specializes in exploring guests' sexual secrets, its employees take the unusual in stride-but even they are caught off guard when the program's all-around boss, DeAnna Kroll, discovers the body of talent coordinator Maria Gonzalez in a storeroom with her face beaten in. Lotte and her crew are scheduled to hit the road for Philadelphia, where one of her first interviews is to be with ex-FBI agent Gregor Demarkian (most recently featured in Dear Old Dead) and a convicted serial killer. Before the show can begin, high-pitched screams lead Gregor to a second victim, whose face has also been destroyed. Being right on the scene, how can Gregor not help his friend, Philadelphia police detective John Jackman, close in on the killer? The story's Hanukkah connection remains peripheral until a contrived link between the killer and some "defective" dreidels is revealed. The slight, rather far-fetched puzzle is overwhelmed by the two richly populated communities (show staffers and Gregor's cutely colorful Armenian-American neighbors). But folks who read the series precisely for those characters will find this entry festive enough.

Review
“Haddam plays the mystery game like a master.” —Chicago Tribune “Classic mysteries are back in vogue, and Jane Haddam’s . . . Gregor Demarkian series is one of the finest.” —Romantic Times Book Reviews “[Haddam] sets her holiday scenes with colorful detail.” —The New York Times
About the Author
Jane Haddam (b. 1951) is an American author of mysteries. Born Orania Papazoglou, she worked as a college professor and magazine editor before publishing her Edgar Award–nominated first novel, Sweet, Savage Death, in 1984. This mystery introduced Patience McKenna, a sleuthing scribe who would go on to appear in four more books, including Wicked, Loving Murder (1985) and Rich, Radiant Slaughter (1988). Not a Creature Was Stirring (1990) introduced Haddam’s best-known character, former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The series spans more than twenty novels, many of them holiday-themed, including Murder Superior (1993), Fountain of Death (1995), and Wanting Sheila Dead (2005). Haddam’s most recent novels are Blood in the Water (2012) and Hearts of Sand (2013).

Like all of Haddam's books, this is taut and well-written.
By A Customer
Festival of Deaths finds Gregor Demarkian thrust into the crazy world of a TV talk show. A young woman working for the show is killed in New York just before the show goes on the road to Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, the violence continues, and Demarkian and John Jackman of the Philadelphia police sort it out. As usual, Jane Haddam spins a web around the murders consisting of an unusually large cast of characters and their lives and activities. Even minor characters are well drawn, and though there are clues to the solution of the mystery, they're well hidden and the reader is led astray in any number of subtle and entertaining ways. The whodunit in a Haddam novel is almost always a surprise, but the best part is getting to the end, one page at a time.

Father Tibor strikes again
By Michele L. Worley
To get the most out of the series, you should first read, at a minimum, NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING. One of the plot points in this book is that the murderer from that case is finally running out of appeals. Although the name is very carefully omitted, you'd be able to eliminate some of the suspects in the previous case if you read this book first.
When Father Tibor Kasparian emigrated to the United States from the old Soviet Union by way of Israel, Rabbi David Goldman sponsored him. Now the rabbi needs a couple of favors.
The more complicated favor is something that obviously must be done: helping a Hasidic temple in Philadelphia that's being harassed by some white supremecist group. Gregor gets in touch with an old friend at the FBI who tracks those groups for this one.
The simplest favor, unfortunately, is least to Gregor's taste, but all the ladies of Cavanaugh Street want him to do it: to appear as a guest on _The Lotte Goldman Show_ (hosted by the rabbi's elder sister) during their annual visit to Philadelphia. Worse, the other guest is a serial killer on loan from prison, one Herbert Shasta (fortunately, not somebody Gregor personally had to deal with, but bad enough). Mr. Shasta's presence immensely complicates things when one of the young men working for the show is found murdered backstage; Shasta didn't do it, but any defense attorney could use him for reasonable doubt.
As it happens, this is the 2nd murder the show has had in recent weeks: Maria Gonzalez, the former talent coordinator, was killed in New York. Is another serial killer present - this one on the staff of the show?

Talk Show Pizzazz
By Mary E. Sibley
Based on copyright information Jane Haddam is a pseudonym it is believed. DeAnna Kroll is six feet tall. THE LOTTE GOLDMAN SHOW was her idea. When the Siamese twins fail to materialize at the airport on time because of delays at Gatwick and Heathrow, the show is thrown into turmoil and a replacement subject has to be found. DeAnna Kroll is the closest thing to a friend that Lotte Goldman has encountered in a long and action-packed lifetime.
The show is outrageous, a kind of Dr. Ruth extension. The characters manifest all of the exotic diversity of New York City. The people are just plain vivid. For example, there is Itzaak Blechmann late of the Soviet Union and Israel whose experiences have put his body into a crisis mode permanently. "His fright-or-flight response never came down out of high gear." Most workers on the show are immigrants. Lotte Goldman likes to give people chances. She is an immigrant.
A worker on the show turns up dead in the storeroom. Her apartment has been ransacked. There is a jealous co-worker on the scene who strikes the reader as suspicious. Gregor Demarkian, a former FBI agent resides in Philadelphia. The show is to go on the road and travel to Philadelphia first. Demarkian is famous in Philadelphia for solving some high profile crimes.
So--the set up is preposterous but the writing is good and the scene has been set for Demarkian to work his detective magic on the situation. To be sure, of course, he enjoys no official title, and he is not really authorized to solve any mysteries whatsoever. (His favorite fictional detective is Nero Wolfe and there is a certain resemblance.)
One of the stranger aspects of the show is the early hours in the morning it is taped. Demarkian is picked up at five A.M. to go into the studio. He is to appear on a program concerning serial killers. Another worker on the show turns up as a dead body. I do not think the plotting here is very adroit but the character portrayals and dialogue are wonderful. Even though this is a genre work it is fairly serious in the sense that it shows the consequences of violence in straightforward fashion.
A third person turns up, but this person is only almost dead. The Bureau dealt with paper crime or the employees of the Bureau were called in after the fact. Demarkian had been astounded at all the blood, confusion, and mess of a real crime scene the first time he had been called into one.
The mystery takes place during the season of Christmas and Hanukkah. There is liveliness with the existence of Armenian and Jewish clerics among the cast of characters. Demarkian is determined to remain a resident in his ethnic neighborhood because had had been so immersed in the lives of serial killers when he was in the Bureau. Gregor Kemarkian is also helping to investigate a hate crime.
Well, the mystery is really like a closed room puzzle, sort of like, you know, did the bultler do it. It is quite an accomplished piece of work.
