Holiday Homicide

Nothing says "e;Merry Christmas"e; like a dead man in the storage room and a volunteer roster full of liars.When Stanley Hooper turns up dead at Echo Falls Town Hall, everyone wants to call it a tragic holiday accident and move on—preferably before the tree-lighting and the cookie exchange.Nans has other plans.Nans investigates the Holiday Volunteer Committee, where the tinsel is cheap, the grudges are pricey, and everyone "e;barely knew"e; Stanley… right before listing ten reasons he was annoying. Detective Jack wants this wrapped up. Nans wants the truth. And somebody in Echo Falls wants Nans to stop asking questions—before she finds out who made sure Stanley didn't make it to Christmas.Good thing Ida packed emergency peppermints.
