âA purrfect New England Christmas cozy . . . Also includes gourmet pet treat recipes.â âLibrary Journal
Â
In the New England town of Frogâs Ledge, the Holiday Light Festival is a Christmas tradition. Killing Santa is not. To bring joy back to the season, organic pet patisserie owner Kristan âStanâ Connor will have to find another Santa before itâs too late . . .
Â
To the townspeopleâs delight, the annual lighting of the tree is a spectacular success. Unfortunately, Santa pulled up in his sleigh, DOA. At first Stan is sure itâs Seamus, her boyfriendâs uncle, inside the red suit. But the victim turns out to be an employee from the townâs Christmas tree farm. Rumor has it the deceased was a mean drunk with a soft spot for feral cats. Stan has no idea why he was dressed as St. Nickâor why heâs dead.
Â
Meanwhile, Seamus, a jolly Irishman who comes to America every December to visit his pub-owner nephew, is nowhere to be found. Could he just be off on a Boston bar crawl? Or is something more sinister under the tree? Seamus was supposed to be dressing up and posing for pet pictures with Santa at the shop, but the dogs and cats might have to find another lap to curl up in if Stan doesnât solve two mysteries soon. Or murder might be the only thing under the mistletoe this holiday . . .
