Christmas Cookies and Criminals

It is Christmastime in Blue River. Charlotte and Ally Sweet are run off their feet dealing with the holiday rush at Charlotte's Chocolate Heaven. Mrs. Bing, Mrs. Cale and Mrs. White are up to their usual shenanigans, eating chocolate and spreading gossip. It seems to be the season for crime in the small town of Blue River. Thefts and petty crimes are rife. Ally's hunky boyfriend, Detective Luke Elm, is flat out trying to ensure that Blue River is crime free and justice is served.

But things become far more serious when a resident of Blue River is found murdered. Mrs. Bing is determined to help find out who murdered her friend and asks Ally to join her in her investigative efforts. With a little help from Charlotte, Mrs. Cale and Mrs. White, as well as Ally and Charlotte's trusty companions, Arnold their pot-bellied pig, and Peaches their feline-friend, they do a little sleuthing. The sleuths reveal a mountain of clues and suspects and land up wrapped up in some risky situations. Has their luck run out or will they get a Christmas miracle?

Will the crooks be caught, and the murderer found in time for Christmas? Will the wrong person land up behind bars for the holiday season? Or worse, will one of the sleuths not be around to celebrate Christmas ever again?
