The Santa float is missing and when Merry located it she found Jenna Wilcox's DEAD body in Santa sleigh. Jenna had made a Naughty list of the residents and planned to display the list with the reasons on her float. This means there are enough residents to want her gone. The matter if Merry is a widow or a divorce along with owner of the winning lottery ticket is in the court waiting for a judge to adjudicate it. From a rumor circulating around town Merry heard that her ex-husband embezzled a large sum of money from the town and plan to payback the sun with the lottery ticket. Merry vegans to investigate to find who was responsible for the low of town's funds.

I recommend this book especially for Christmas lovers.

The story starts out with a lot of action but the narrative did not flow smoothly making difficult to follow at times. The number of characters introduced made it hard to follow the main line and needed more development. A lot of time was spent on the backstory. At one time I felt for the MC because of all the negative events that were occurring around her. There were things that occurred that I question. After the death of finance and Father, Addie Greyborne learned that unknown aunt has died and left her estate. Addie moved to the small coastal town where she learned that the town was named after her relatives. She discovered a number of rare books as more than enough books to open a bookstore. The first day she is open events occur causing her problems. Eddie made a friend and an enemy that day.. A bank official is a murder and her friend is accused of his murder. The story takes a major turn here and several unpleasant incidents occur before Addie's life is close to normal again. Addie needs answers before she joins her boyfriend and Father in death. I recommend this book.
