Murder in her stocking

Christmas has arrived in sleepy McGill Georgia but holiday cheer can’t keep temperamental Stella Reid from swinging a rolling pin at anyone who crosses her bad side—and this season there are plenty. First an anonymous grinch vandalizes a celebrated nativity display. Far worse the scandalous Prissy Carr is found dead in an alley behind a tavern. With police puzzled over the murder Stella decides to stir the local gossip pot for clues on the culprit’s identity. Turns out Prissy held a prominent spot on the naughty list and suspects pile up like presents on Christmas morning. Unfortunately the more progress Stella makes the more fears she must confront. With a neighbor in peril and the futures of her beloved grandchildren at risk Stella must somehow set everything straight and bring a cunning criminal to justice before December 25th.
