Never Mess with Mistletoe
Claire EdieTenth in the USA-Today and Kindle Top-Ten bestselling Leigh Koslow mystery series!
Frances Koslow was ecstatic to have her humble abode chosen as stop #3 on the Holiday House Tour. Then everyone drank the cider.
When
Leigh’s parents’ house becomes a last-minute substitution on the
regional garden club’s famous Holiday House Tour, Frances Koslow is
thrilled. But the tour is tomorrow, there’s work to be done, and
Frances’s dwindling and aging “Floribunda” chapter is in dire need of
reinforcements. Worried about her mother’s blood pressure, particularly
as sisterly tensions rise over Leigh’s Aunt Lydie’s upcoming Christmas
Eve wedding, Leigh steps in to make sure the tour runs smoothly.
But
perhaps Leigh isn’t the ideal choice for the task. Not when a fortune
cookie has just portended the return of her infamous “bad karma.” Not
when everyone knows the real reason the Floribundas have declined is
because every remaining member is a whackadoodle. And not when someone’s
idea of Christmas spirit is to add a little something extra to the
sweet cider punch.
One dead Floribunda later, Leigh struggles to
keep her family calm in the midst of swirling suspicions, flying
accusations, and dubious warnings of biological warfare. But when
someone threatens to silence her own all-too-curious daughter,
mother-rage kicks in. Nobody is ruining Leigh's family’s Merry Christmas. Not even her family.
