A Christmas delight, 'Twas the Knife Before Christmas will charm the
stockings off readers of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier.
It's out of the cupcake tin, into the fire for Holly White's best
friend, Caroline. Can Holly clear Caroline's name in time to go
caroling?
When a body turns up in a larger-than-life candy bowl filled with
peppermints on the town square, Holly White is horrified to learn her
best friend Caroline is the main suspect. Everyone in town, including
Mistletoe, Maine's sheriff, saw Caroline fighting with the victim on the
night of his death. Worse, a custom kitchen knife, engraved with
Caroline's initials was found with him.
Now, just ten days before Christmas, Holly's up to her jingle bells in
holiday shenanigans and in desperate need of a miracle. Juggling extra
shifts at her family's Christmas tree farm and making enough gingerbread
jewelry to satisfy the crowd is already more than she can handle―and now
she has to find time to clear her best friend of murder. Add in her
budding relationship with the sheriff, and a personal stalker dressed as
Santa Claus, and Holly's ready to fly south until springtime.
But her Sherpa-lined mittens come off when Caroline is taken into
custody. Can Holly wrap up the case in time for Christmas...even after
she gains the true killer's attention? Find out in 'Twas the Knife
Before Christmas, Jacqueline Frost's second pine-scented Christmas Tree
Farm mystery.
