It is the Christmas season in Blithedale & Alice and the other residents are preparing for the Christmas Fair and a Santa Contest. While famous author, Clyde Digby, is at Wonderland Books doing a book reading from his latest book, the children at the book store are waiting for Santa to arrive for a Christmas reading. When Santa is late, and the kids are getting restless, Alice heads over to the Christmas fair to find him and she does find him…dead! Who could have killed Santa!!! With the police chief being incompetent and is always finding a reason not to work, Alice finds herself putting on her sleuthing hat once again to solve a murder. There are plenty of suspects. Come to find out no one really liked him, not even his wife.
There are plenty of mysteries in this story. What is the ex owner of the Blithedalel bookstore doing back in town? He is supposed to be retired in FL and here he is in a Santa costume. Who is the secret Santa that is gifting books to residents around town? Oh what a tangled web we weave!! Alice might have met her challenge with these mysteries to solve.
Join Alice and her friends on yet another roller coaster ride to solve a murder and the other mysteries. This is a good book and once again, the author twists the tale in such a way that when the reader thinks they have the mystery solved, it takes yet another turn that makes you question it.
Happy Reading!
