Christmas Caramel Murder (A Hannah Swensen Mystery)

Christmas normally descends on Lake Eden, Minnesota, as gently as reindeer alighting on a rooftop€"but this yuletide season the only thing coming down Hannah Swensen€s chimney is a case of murder . . .
 
The holidays have arrived, and Hannah and her good pal Lisa have agreed to provide all the goodies for the town€s annual production of A Christmas Carol. But before anyone can say €œBah, humbug!€ a Santa-sized sackful of trouble ensues. Like the fact that Lisa€s husband will be playing Mr. Claus to his ex-girlfriend Phyllis Bates€ Mrs. Claus. Or that before the curtains even go up Phyllis is found dead in the snow€"wearing a costume that the real Mrs. Claus would put on the naughty list. Soon after the suspects pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, while a merry murderer remains on the loose. With clues even harder to find, it might take a visit from ghosts of Christmas past to wrap up this mystery in time for the holidays . . .
