Slashing through the snow

Shortly after her Reindeer Games Christmas Tree Farm opens up its B&B side of business, Holly White, the new innkeeper, finds herself a suspect in a murder mystery: the B&B critic and generally disliked local resident Cleo is found bludgeoned to death by a metal nutcracker, her body stuffed into the toy donation box. Holly is not the only suspect, though, for Mistletoe, Main's sheriff, Evan Gray, and local sleuth, Cookie--many townspeople held utter disdain for the critic and her scathing review pieces. Cookie is especially eager to solve this murder case, since her fingerprints were on the nutcracker.
