Publisher's Synopsis
Deck the halls ...
The Cottage in Mistletoe Falls was Maisie's best-loved holiday getaway for years. Now, as a retired widow bringing her grandchildren with her to help fix up the Cottage for Christmas, Maisie can only hope to get back in touch with her younger, happier self.
Mistletoe Falls is still all she hoped it would be, impossibly charming under a blanket of snow, featuring businesses such as Frankie's Teddy Bear Repair and Ginger's Gingerbread. The Cottage itself has fallen into disrepair, and developed a few new mysteries, such as what happened to most of its beautiful antique furniture, and what exactly the mysterious key on Maisie's key ring goes to, when it doesn't seem to fit any lock on the property. Maisie can still see the hope in its beloved old bones, if she can just work up some elbow grease and make the place sparkle and shine as it once did.
... with festive murder?But there's something amiss in the mistletoe when a greedy developer turns up dead at Maisie's "fix up the Cottage" party, and a friend's son is arrested for murder. Now Maisie must enlist the help of her eagerly sleuthing grandchildren, her cat Sugarplum, and her new neighbors to find out who in Mistletoe Falls is a killer-before this Christmas turns into a holiday slay ride.
A holiday cozy mystery full of laughs, festive touches, and heartwarming charm.
