Description: Ho. Ho. No ...
It's Christmas in Sweet River, Texas, and the whole town is feeling festive apart from Ainsley McGregor. Ainsley has never enjoyed the holidays and would rather ignore them, but with her shop Bless Your Art busier than ever and filled with happy shoppers, even she's feeling some Christmas spirit. That is, until her Great Dane, George Clooney, sniffs out a dead body in the Santa House at the Christmas Festival. When one of her favorite crafters becomes the prime suspect, Ainsley is determined to prove his innocence. The case is full of so many twists and turns that even Ainsley begins to fear the truth. Is she protecting a killer? With help from her friends and some extremely nosy townsfolk, Ainsley and her dog hurry to find the truth--as long as they can outwit and outrun the killer first. Otherwise, this Christmas might just be her last. Contains mature themes.Brief description: Bestselling author Candace Havens has written more than thirty-five novels.
