Description
Maine innkeeper Holly White returns to sleuth another seasonal slaying in the third Christmas Tree Farm mystery from bestselling author Jacqueline Frost.
Reindeer Games Christmas Tree Farm is going into the B&B business, and Holly White is looking forward to her new role as innkeeper. Even better, Mistletoe, Maines sheriff, Evan Gray, has deputized his little sister Libby to help Holly wrap presents for Mistletoes toy drive. But a cold wind ruffles the cheery holiday decorations when a new guest checks in: Karen, a vicious B&B critic, who could make or break the new inn. And the short December days turn even darker when Evan and Libby find Karens dead body in the gift-wrapped toy donation box.
The suspect list is longer than Santas naughty list, and local resident Cookie is on it, since her fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, a metal nutcracker that she gave to Holly. So is Libby, who recently moved to town from Boston in less-than-savory circumstances. But cranky Karen was an oh-holy-nightmare to lots of the townsfolk, such as Evans reporter friend Ray; Christopher, the inns former contractor; and confectioner Bonnie, whose Gum Drop Shop was a direct target of Karens scathing prose.
To figure out the killers identity and clear Cookies name, Holly and her friends brainstorm at the Hearth, the farms café, while her mother keeps them fueled with Christmas goodies fresh from the oven. But if they cant put the culprit on ice, Holly may never see another Christmas.
