Making a list. Merry's life is Christmas chaos. Her divorce is still in question. She's behind on crafting orders. Ebenezer is an escape artist. And with one day left, she hasn't completed the line-up for the annual Christmas parade, thanks to one grinch. Once Merry knows the Christmas secret, she realizes Santa isn't what's coming to town.
Checking it twice. Santa's naughty list, courtesy of Jenna Wilcox, will roll down Main Street with names of residents who deserve a lump of coal in their stocking. Saving the parade won't be easy, but Merry is up to task. Or so she thinks until she discovers Jenna's body stashed in Santa's sack.
Going to find out. As facts are unwrapped, Merry finds the line blurred between who's naughty and nice. As threats are aimed at her and those she loves, Merry dashes for the truth before the murderer puts her on the naughty list and crosses her off for good.
Christina Freeburn has written a wonderful tale of festivities, family, fun ..... and murder!
Merry has more than enough on her plate, she has stepped up and taken over the role of parade coordinator (something her late ex husband did), she still has to get the last of her Christmas items sent out (the ones bought through the Merry and Bright Etsy store), she needs to stop her Guinea Pig Ebenezer from being an escape and chew artist! Oh and along with that she still isn't sure if her late ex really was an ex (ie had the divorce gone through or was he a bigamist?) and who has the rights to the winning lottery ticket? All this should be more than enough for any person - but then she finds out that one of the parade floats is going to be some one unpleasant, with a list of "naughty" people and the reason why they are on the list! Neither Merry nor the Mayor have any joy in getting the woman to change her mind, although that becomes moot when someone changes everything by killing the female Grinch!
Now the body count is rising, Merry finds her name on another naughty list and someone threatens both her and her stepdaughter Cassie, now Merry needs to get the Christmas Spirit back on track otherwise it will turn into a Nightmare of a Festive Season.
