Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen - A Spotlight

In honor of the upcoming holiday I'd like to shine a spotlight on Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen by Vicki Delany. This book is the first in the Year-Round Christmas Mystery.

From the back cover:

In Rudolph, New York, it's Christmastime all year long. But this December, while the snow-lined streets seem merry and bright, a murder is about to ruin everyone's holiday cheer...

As the owner of Mrs. Claus's Treasures, Merry Wilkinson knows how to decorate homes for the holidays. That's why she thinks her float in the semi-annual Santa Claus parade is a shoo-in for best in show. But when the tractor pulling Merry's float is sabotaged, she has to face facts:there's a Scrooge in Christmas Town.

Mery isn't ready to point fingers, especially with a journalist in town writing a puff piece about Rudolph's Christmas spirit. But when she stumbles upon the reporter's body on a late-night dog walk and police suspect he was poisoned-by a gingerbread cookie crafted by her best friend, Vicki-Merry will have to put down the jingle bells and figure out who's really been grinching about town, before Vizki winds up on Santa's naughty list...
