No holly jolly Christmas to be found when there’s a murder brewing.

Bartholomew Bliss parades into Belle's cozy coffee shop, a candy cane in a red pin-striped suit. His enthusiasm bubbles over for the new peppermint mocha coffee. He’s behind the offer Belle receives to serve this delicious holiday brew to a local business and the hundreds of employees.

Except everything goes wrong. Decorations fall apart, coffee cups leak, and fierce competition leaves Belle struggling for business. Then, in the midst of the holiday chaos, Belle stumbles upon a lifeless body, a cord of blinking Christmas the possible weapon.

Is Bartholomew Bliss the heartless murderer or just an innocent bystander?

As Belle discreetly investigates, she delves into the lives of the employees, the girlfriend, and even a relentless stalker who leaves creepy presents. Motives abound, alibis crumble, and Bliss himself turns out to be a man with layers as intricate as a snowflake, rarely revealing the whole truth.

Yes, Belle and Lucas want to wrap up this murder with a big red bow and see the killer in prison. But there’s an even bigger mystery looming.

Will they spend Christmas together or apart?
