Christmas is bad enough without all the music, frantic shopping sprees, and holiday parties. So many parties… with people you couldn't stand in high school and definitely can't stand now.
Top of the list? Patty Harrison. She made my teen years miserable and, now that we're adults, she's trying to get me banned from the Christmas market.
Even so, I'm not going to commit literal murder.
But when Patty is found dead in the fiery inferno of my shed, I'm not going to pretend to be sad either. Just because I look like Wednesday Addams's cooler, more dangerous older sister, everyone assumes I did it—including Captain Luke Reynolds, the firefighter tasked with solving the mystery of the arson and murder.
He's everything terrible about Christmas, all in one tall, huge, muscular package. Goodreads No, not like that! I have more self-respect than to fall for the man who's trying to put me in handcuffs. The real kind. He's convinced I'm a murderer and arsonist, and I need to prove him wrong before he ruins my Christmas market business.
Good thing I have a plan. I'm going to solve this murder before Captain Claus can arrest me.
