Krissy Hancock is staying in her adopted hometown of Pine Hills, Ohio,
for Christmas this year--and she even has a whole week off from her
combination bookstore-café. But a killer is about to dampen her spirits
. . .
Unfortunately, Krissy's been roped into filling in for a sick elf in the
local holiday musical extravaganza. With a demanding director, backstage
gossip, and two men in fierce competition for the starring role, it
isn't all sweetness and Christmas lights. Then a murder puts a stop to
the production, and Krissy is faced with a pageant of suspects.
Could her ex-boyfriend, a fellow elf, really be the culprit as the
police are claiming? Or will the actor playing Santa be trading his red
suit for an orange jumpsuit? When her behind-the-scenes investigation
starts getting dangerous, the only thing Krissy really wants is to make
it to Christmas dinner alive. But first she'll have to finish wrapping
up this case . . .
