We Wish You a Murderous Christmas

Summary

A grinch is spoiling the holiday cheer and causing fear in the second Year-Round Christmas Mystery from the author of Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen . . .

It's Christmastime three hundred sixty-five days a year in Rudolph, New York, and as Christmas Day approaches, shop owner Merry Wilkinson is enjoying a rare evening off at the Yuletide Inn when she runs into owners Grace and Jack Olsen. With Jack's health failing, Merry is relieved to hear that his son Gord will be taking over the day-to-day running of the Inn.

But then Gord reveals that his new plans have no room for Christmas at the Inn, and Merry and the other shopkeepers start to fret about the effect a bland franchise hotel could have on their livelihoods.

When Gord is found stabbed to death, there's an entire town of potential suspects—and it's up to Merry to find whoever brought homicide home for the holidays . . .
