Crime & Mystery

'Tis the season for mischief and murder in the eighth Year-Round

Christmas mystery from national bestselling author Vicki Delany.

It's Christmastime in Rudolph, New York, which means it's time for

the December Santa Claus parade. This year, shop owner Merry Wilkinson

has decided to decorate her float as Santa's elves' workshop and invites

her landlady, Mabel D'Angelo, to help supervise the excited children

playing the elves. But when Mrs. D'Angelo doesn't show up, Merry begins

to worry.

Worry quickly turns into frustration when

Mrs. D'Angelo reveals she was delayed by new neighbors moving in. As the

center for all things gossip, Mrs. D'Angelo is determined to introduce

the new arrivals to the neighborhood. As the days pass, Mrs. D'Angelo

notices strange things about the newcomers, but Merry, busier than an

elf in Santa's workshop, has little time for matters that really don't

concern her. But things turn from jolly to downright concerning when

Mrs. D'Angelo disappears and Merry is forced to admit that something

might be terribly wrong.

With family and friends

counting on her during this stressful holiday season, it is up to Merry

to make sure this Christmas doesn't end up wrapped in blood red.
