Christmas Shop Murder #2 Tessa
Schmidt, lover of all things seasonal, is happy to hear that Shady Lake
is going to have their very own Christmas shop. Sue Peterson is going to
turn the Used-A-Bit, her second hand store, into a Christmas shop set
to open on Black Friday. Tessas family owns a bed and breakfast and she
has decided to undertake the large task of decorating for the holidays,
so the new shop is just what she needs. Unfortunately, the landlord of
the building has died and the new landlord, Claire Freeman, is not
willing to cut Sue any slack on her past due rent. Once December is
over, Sues store is out and Claires self-service dog washing and
grooming salon is moving in.
As if Tessa isnt busy enough decorating
and working at the bed and breakfast along with volunteering to help
Sue set up the Christmas shop, her mother slips on a patch of ice and
breaks her leg leaving all of the family holiday preparations to Tessa.
Tessa has so much on her plate that it is almost overflowing.
But
then Black Friday comes and Claire is found dead in the Christmas Shop
just before the grand opening. Multiple people close to Tessa come under
suspicion, so once again she finds herself investigating a murder to
make sure that everyone can be home in time for Christmas. Will Tessa be
able to solve the murder while maintaining her holiday cheer?
