Death, Snow, and Mistletoe

Tori Miracle is back in an all-new mystery!

MURDER IN THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT

It was Christmas in Lickin Creek and all through the town something was stirring... The borough council was quarreling about the color of the Christmas lights. A social worker wouldn't let a living baby be part of the town's living creche. And some ladies were stretching the limits of their leotards in a pageant called the Nutcracker.

All in all, former New Yorker Tori Miracle was basking in the quaint glow of her adopted Pennsylvania town, when suddenly the season went sour.

A boy was missing. A thirty-year-old mystery resurfaced. And now two people have been murdered. With her boyfriend - the town police chief - out of town, Tori must help his befuddled replacement. And what she founds out, or should be finding out, is making Tori the next target - of someone only in the mood for murder.

"Valerie S. Malmont's sense of humor is crips and Tori Miracle is good fun." - The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Ky.)

"Cute along the lines of Lillian Jackson Braun's cozies." - San Jose Mercury News
