Misdeeds and Mistletoe: This Christmas, the ornaments aren't the only things breaking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781969450181)

Snow is falling, cocoa is steaming, and the Tumblebrook Inn is aglow with Christmas cheer... until a renowned ornament appraiser collapses beneath the tree and turns the holiday festival into a murder scene.

Stranded by a blizzard and surrounded by nervous guests, innkeeper Amelia Farnsworth and her quick-witted friend Clara Henderson must sift through cryptic gift tags, forged ornaments, and long-buried town secrets to uncover the truth. But someone else is hunting for the mysterious "crown ornament"-and they'll stop at nothing to recover it.

With the help of Lady Grey, the inn's intuitive British Shorthair, Amelia discovers that the Monarch Society-a shadowy group tied to Tumblebrook's past-isn't as forgotten as the town hoped.

As the storm tightens its grip and clues vanish as quickly as footprints in the snow, Amelia must protect her guests, unravel her family's connection to the Society, and outsmart a killer lurking in the twinkling shadows of the inn.

Full of cozy charm, holiday intrigue, small-town warmth, and a cat with impeccable timing, this Christmas mystery will keep you turning pages long past the last snowfall.
