Book Overview

by Vicki Delany (Author)

It's time for spirits to come out and play in the ninth Year-Round Christmas mystery by national bestselling author Vicki Delany.

It's Halloween, and the townsfolk of Rudolph, New York, are donning masks and costumes for the Yuletide Inn's grand fundraising gala to support the local hospital. Shop owner Merry Wilkinson has yet another treat to celebrate: Her best friend, Vicky Casey, has a new cookbook set to publish. Vicky's publishers, a prominent critic of her book, and a former opera star rumored to have been involved with Merry's mother are all set to attend the gala.

As the drinks flow, the guests dance, and the canapés are served, things begin spiraling out of control. The book critic makes a scene, and tensions begin to rise. Then Merry realizes that she is not the only one who never actually paid for a gala ticket. But when someone drops dead after eating a cake pop from the lavish dessert buffet, everything comes to a head, and all eyes turn to Vicky, who made the treats. As it turns out, Vicky's book might be doomed before it hits the shelves.

With her friend's name and livelihood at stake and the fundraiser in serious danger, Merry must keep her wits about her. Surely she's only imagining the ghost of Ebenezer Scrooge watching her from the shadows.
