A small town cozy mystery with all the Christmas trimmings and a clean romance.
All isn't merry and bright for Robin Pearce since she moved back to the small town of River Sutton, bought a shabby farmhouse, started a new business and a thrilling new romance with handsome Sheriff Chris Payne, her high school crush. But she's broke and bills are coming due. With no income and no prospects, Robin agrees to attend her sister Jenn's Christmas party to welcome socialite guests to her new bed-and-breakfast, Cardinal Cottage, thinking she can drum up leads. Just as Robin suspected, the guests are wealthy and snobby. One of them even picks a fight with Jenn's wife! After plenty of cocktails and a traditional Christmas dinner, the evening finally ends. However, the next morning a dead body is discovered in the pond. You guessed it. The woman who argued with Jenn's wife! The guests are trapped at the B and B with a murder looming over them during the investigation, leaving them vulnerable to danger and high emotion. When Chris reluctantly arrests Deb for the murder, it's up to Robin to prove her innocence. Even it means putting her new romance with Chris at risk. With an old nemesis making a reappearance and her romance with Chris at stake, will Robin be able to unmask the killer before there's another victim? If you enjoyed the suspenseful novels of Agatha Christie with a large cast of characters staying in one house, you'll love this cozy Christmas mystery from award-winning author Nancy Basile.
