"A splendid mix of humor and suspense!" ―Booklist

Silent Night, Deadly Night...

With Christmas just over a week away, 'tis the season for grinning elves, maddeningly jolly Muzak, and a guilty Nut Goodie addiction. But the holidays are marred by something far worse―a serial killer leaving candy canes as his calling card.

His target? Thirty-something brunettes who look just like Mira James. When a woman from her high school graduating class becomes his latest victim, Mira plows through a case of online dating turned deadly with Mrs. Berns at her side.

Will she earn her detective stripes...or end up deader than the Ghost of Christmas Past?

"A breathtaking finale."―Publishers Weekly
