Meadowood has a new mystery and it's just in time for the holidays! Strings of miniature sparkling lights adorn tree branches and hang across the entrance to the holiday pavilion. Christmas carolers try to enhance the holiday mood, but it was murder in the air, not friendship and goodwill. What can Meredith Gardner (busy housewife, mother, cub scout den leader, and community activist) do when suddenly her new friend plus the local sheriff both collapse after drinking cups of poisoned mulled cider? Suspicion and fear run rampant in the town of Meadowood as local businesses are burglarized and everyone becomes a suspect. Newly promoted Chief Deputy Sheriff Doug Gardner butts head with his stubborn wife as she inserts herself into his murder investigation, risking her own life. With the help of her gal pals, Merry sets out to prove his prime suspect innocent while laying a trap for the serial robber and possible murderer too. Christmas in Meadowood may never be the same again. Join Merry and her friend Anna as they prepare for new adventures in the new year too!
