Slashing Through The Snow

More about the book

Maine innkeeper Holly White is back to solve another seasonal mystery in the third Christmas Tree Farm installment. As Reindeer Games Christmas Tree Farm transitions into a B&B, Holly eagerly embraces her new role. Mistletoe's sheriff, Evan Gray, enlists his sister Libby to assist Holly with wrapping presents for the town's toy drive. However, the festive atmosphere takes a chilling turn when Cleo, a harsh B&B critic, checks in. The situation worsens when Evan and Libby discover Cleo's body in a toy donation box, leading to a suspect list that rivals Santa's naughty list. Among the suspects is local resident Cookie, whose fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, a metal nutcracker she gifted to Holly. Libby also comes under suspicion due to her troubled past in Boston. Cleo had ruffled many feathers in town, including those of Evan's reporter friend Ray, the inn's former contractor Christopher, and Bonnie, the owner of the Gum Drop Shop, who was a frequent target of Cleo’s scathing reviews. To uncover the killer and clear Cookie's name, Holly and her friends brainstorm at The Hearth, the farm's café, while indulging in holiday treats from Holly's mother. If they can't identify the culprit, Holly risks losing her chance to celebrate Christmas ever again.
