Christmas Presence: A Cozy Mystery with a Ghostly Twist - Paperback

Christmas in Mooselick River is all tinsel, twinkle lights...and murder.

After the year she's had, Everly Dupree is ready for the holiday season-baking cookies, trimming the tree, guzzling eggnog, and indulging in one of her favorite traditions: the town's annual Christmas lighting contest.

But murder never takes a holiday, and in Mooselick River, even Christmas comes with a body count. As displays are sabotaged, old grudges resurface, and bitter rivalries boil over, it's starting to look like the lighting contest is about more than just dazzling decorations.

Then tenacious journalist Amber Hale turns up strangled with a string of Christmas lights, her corpse staged like a macabre holiday display-and her ghost becomes Everly's newest problem.

The more she learns, the clearer it seems that Amber wasn't just chasing a headline. She was running from something-and if Everly isn't careful, she'll become the next holiday tragedy Mooselick River has to sweep under the snow.
