Yule Regret It (Northwoods Mysteries, #4)

From author Annie McEwen comes a holiday ho-ho-homicide! It's Christmastime in the Northwoods, and Emmy Cooper is ready to deck the halls, frost the cookies, and enjoy Covington's biggest event of the year-the annual Christmas Celebration. Visitors flock to the festive lakeside town, where Emmy's family runs the Cooper's Cove Resort, for holiday treats, handmade crafts, and the beloved tree-lighting ceremony, led by none other than Santa Claus himself. But when Emmy stumbles across a very dead Santa, the season takes a chilling turn. With Emmy's boyfriend, Officer Dean Erickson, trying to keep the investigation under wraps, Emmy and her best friend Whitney find themselves more tangled in this mystery than in last year's Christmas lights. Between town gossip, a Scrooge of a new health inspector, and long-buried secrets rising to the surface, Emmy's holiday cheer is draining faster than Ol' Robert's eggnog. Unraveling the killer's identity might take a Christmas miracle-and Emmy's running out of time. If she's not careful, she just might be the next one sleighed. "An excellent cozy. I look forward to my next visit to Cooper's Cove." ~ Kings River Life Magazine "This was a fun and delightfully engaging whodunit that I could not put down until all was said and done." ~ Dru's Book Musings
