This is a cozy murder mystery that takes place in a small town during the Christmas holidays.  The main character, Tess, is the local mail deliverer. Her Mom has found herself in charge of the town’s Christmas Festival after the event planner the town hired to do it used “the Christmas clause” in her contract to back out two weeks before the event.  Tess finds herself trying to help out her Mom and solve a murder at the same time.

Tess’s brother happens to be the sheriff which makes solving the crime a mixed bag.  On the one hand, Tess gets to see otherwise privileged information but on the other holding information back from her brother leads to big trouble.

This is a solid murder mystery for the holidays!
