Crafts and Life

As December sweeps through South Lick, Indiana, Robbie’s life seems merry and bright like the string lights glistening around town. But strange happenings signal a bumpy ride into the holidays. First a man raises eyebrows at Pans ‘N Pancakes when he claiming to be the long-lost half-brother of Robbie’s assistant. Then a fire destroys the home of a controversial anesthesiologist, exposing skeletal remains in his attic. Helplessly intrigued, all Robbie wants for Christmas is to stop her winter wonderland from becoming a real nightmare. With a decades-old mystery taking shape, can she run as fast as she can in pursuit of a killer who’s harder to crack than a stale gingerbread man?

Ah Christmas, a time of feasting, merriment, family ….. and murder! We have a young man claiming to be the illegitimate son of the Mayor (spoiler time .. he is! oh and he is welcomed into the family), a corpse discovered in the attic of a house, and then the corpse's sibling dies.  The problem is neither the corpse nor the sibling appear to have died of natural causes and when it comes to the latter fingers are being pointed at the new person in town, namely the illegitimate son.  Now Robbie needs to keep her Festive Spirits high and her wits about her to help her old nemesis crack this case open, without ending up as dead as a 6 month old Christmas tree.
