About this item
Comfort food and murder are on the holiday menu in the latest mystery from the national bestselling author of Macaroni and Freeze . . . All Trixie Matkowski wants for Christmas is a break - just not the broken leg she got after slipping on some ice. With Sandy Harbor alive in the hustle and bustle of the season, it's the busiest time of the year at Trixie's Silver Bullet Diner. There are millions of things to do, including cater the town's annual Christmas pageant and community dinner with some delicious holiday comfort food. But the festivities turn into a bit of a turkey after Liz Fellows, the director of the pageant, is found with Trixie's butcher knife in her back. Now Trixie must help the police arrest the scary gentleman - or lady - guilty of the crime if she hopes to get herself off the naughty list.
