Merry Wilkinson is content with life in Rudolph, NY, where she runs a Christmas shop. The town has reinvented itself as a holiday-themed tourist destination full of indie businesses. So when the owner of the Yuletide Inn lands in the hospital following a heart attack, and his son, Gord, swoops in to convert the inn into a franchise of a budget hotel chain and sell land to a big-box store, the community is in an uproar. They're almost relieved when Gord is murdered, until their resident Santa, Merry's father, is questioned. Now Merry will have to find the real killer before her dad ends up in jail and the holiday is ruined.
VERDICT The second book in this cozy mystery series (after Rest Ye Murdered Gentleman) continues its yuletide appeal.
