Private detective Savannah Reid isn't your average crime-fighting heroine. Middle-aged and overweight--at least by society's skinny-winnie standards--Savannah has the audacity to love herself anyway. If there's anything the sassy Dixie belle enjoys more than cooking soul-satisfying food for her friends and family, it's nabbing bad guys and plopping them on the scales of Lady Justice. Having relocated to Southern California, this unconventional Georgia peach and the equally eccentric members of her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency live to take a tasty bite out of crime in the sleepy, seaside town of San Carmelita.It's hard to conjure the jolly spirit of Christmas present when there's a serial rapist on the loose. And private detective Savannah Reid is determined that she and her Moonlight Magnolia agency members will nab the "Santa Rapist" before he hurts any more of her friends and neighbors. But sexual assault turns to murder, and the body count is mounting. Until they nab this creep, there won't be any holiday cheer in the quaint, Southern California, beach town of San Carmelita. No peace. And very little goodwill toward men.
