In Connie Berrys festive holiday novella Mistletoe and Murder, American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton has a long way to go before she gets down the aisle, but will someone stand in the way of her happily ever after?
Five days before her wedding to Detective Inspector Tom Mallory, Kate Hamilton finds her friend Sheila in need of her help. Sheila, a soon-to-be bride herself, needs Kates help to get Carl Curtis, her fiancé, out of Venezuela. His passport was taken from him by the authorities, and they say he owes them money. Carl says its a bribe, but hes unable to leave unless its paid.
Sheila decides to sell her grandfathers coin collection, including a valuable gold coin presented by Queen Victoria to her great-grandmother. Among her grandfathers stored possessions is a letter from the Queen. When someone breaks into Sheilas house, all signs point to even more foul play. As Kate deals with a disturbing number of wedding-plan hitches, a fire in town reveals a body. Unfortunately, the burned-out flat is next to the bridal salon where Kates dress is being altered. Can the cleaners really eliminate the odor of smoke?
As the clock ticks down to Kate and Toms I dos, Kate goes to Sheilas house to help her search for the royal letter, but shes nowhere to be found. The house has been torn apart, and Sheila is missing. Could Sheilas disappearance be connected to the death in town? Kate will have to piece together the clues.
