Murder With All the Trimmings — Elaine Viets

Josie must investigate year-round Christmas shops...and expose a humbug.

For Josie, the appeal of the year-round Christmas shop is an enigma wrapped in tinsel. But when three such holiday houses pop up within two blocks of one another, she's assigned to rate them. Things start turning sour when Josie puts a store owned by her boyfriend's ex on her naughty list. And worse yet, shoppers are finding a strange--perhaps deadly--secret ingredient in a rival store's holiday cake. Now, despite the dire problems at her own hearth, Josie must get to the bottom of it all--before someone eke becomes a Christmas spirit.
