Christmas has arrived in Moon's Landing, a quaint town where holiday cheer usually fills the air. But this year, along with festive joy, something far more sinister has arrived: murder.
On a crisp winter evening, Birdie Lopez is covering the grand opening of the local Museum of History for the newspaper. The event is bustling, and her photographs are turning out beautifully. That is, until delivery driver Karl Smith slips on the icy steps and meets a tragic end.
Initially deemed a tragic accident, the case takes a chilling turn when Birdie reviews her photos from the event. Among the festive snapshots, she discovers something shocking-she may have captured a murderer in action.
With the town's focus on the heated Special Elections-the last sheriff had been arrested for murder- no one is willing to reopen the investigation. But Birdie is determined to uncover the truth, even if it means putting her own Christmas celebrations on hold. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she realizes that this holiday season, solving a murder might be the best gift she can give Moon's Landing.
Murder by Christmas is a cozy novella and book #6 in the Moon's Landing mystery series!
