The Christmas season at the Cackleberry Club café is marred by murder
in the latest book in the New York Times bestselling series, now in
paperback.
Some say that casting crusty attorney Allan Sharp as Scrooge in the
Kindred Players production of A Christmas Carol is just playing to type.
He's not the most beloved man in town. In fact, you'd have a dickens of
a time finding someone who liked him. Still, it's a shock when the Ghost
of Christmas Past stabs him during the first rehearsal. Suzanne,
co-owner of the Cackleberry Club café, Kindred's favorite combination
diner, craft store, and bookshop, chases the murderer out of the
building but loses him in the alley.
As the days pass, the list of suspects grows longer. Is it the
disgruntled law partner? The former secretary, whom Sharpe sexually
harrassed? Or is it fellow owner of the Cackleberry Club Toni's almost
ex-husband, Junior? The women of the Cackleberry Club are determined to
find the killer before he can add another victim to his Christmas list.
