Synopsis: Bah, homicide! A mystery in the New York Times-bestselling series with a heroine &“irresistible as a cookie fresh from the oven&” (Publishers Weekly). Christmas normally descends on Lake Eden, Minnesota, as gently as reindeer alighting on a rooftop—but this yuletide season, the only thing coming down Hannah Swensen&’s chimney is a case of murder. Hannah and her pal Lisa have agreed to provide the goodies for the town&’s annual production of A Christmas Carol. But before anyone can say &“Bah, humbug!&” a Santa-sized sackful of trouble ensues. Like the fact that Lisa&’s husband will be playing Mr. Claus to his ex-girlfriend Phyllis Bates&’ Mrs. Claus. Or that before the curtains even go up Phyllis is found dead in the snow—wearing a costume that the real Mrs. Claus would put on the naughty list. Soon, the suspects pile up faster than snowdrifts while a merry murderer remains on the loose. With clues hard to find, it might take a visit from ghosts of Christmas past to wrap up this mystery in time for the holidays… Includes a dozen holiday recipes from The Cookie Jar!
