Tis the season to solve a murder—and innkeeper Holly White knows she’ll have to make her list and check it twice if she wants to catch the killer in the 4th Christmas Tree Farm mystery from bestselling author Jacqueline Frost. For inn keeper Holly White, Christmas time in Mistletoe, Maine, is the ultimate holiday gift. Business at the Reindeer Games Inn is booming, her wedding to Sheriff Evan Gray is nearly here, and the annual parade is about to begin. The town is lucky to have another gift this year with the state’s ballet company staying for several performances of The Nutcracker. But disaster strikes when Tiffany, the lead ballerina, shows up dead on a float during the parade, the Rat King’s mask nearby. Holly will have to spruce up her sleuthing skills if she wants to catch the killer before Christmas—and her wedding day. Immediately, Holly discovers that Tiffany had more than a few secrets. She finds out that the star of the show had a super fan that no one knows anything about. And the show’s understudy slips some other intriguing information Holly’s way: not only was Tiffany secretly seeing someone romantically, but there seems to be more than one rat in this company. When Holly discovers a secret passage leading to Tiffany’s dressing room, with footprints leading out; she wonders if this is evidence of a secret lover—or a stalking killer. With an impending snowstorm and the ballet company on the way out of town, Holly must act quickly if she wants to find the person responsible for this terrible murder. Will she be able to save Christmas—or will her investigation turn cold like the weather?

ABOUT THE BOOK Pee Wee is based on a song I had written in 1972. Recently, I came across a file with a copy of the sheet music in it, and the thought came to mind. Hey, this just might become a good Children's book. I wanted the story to have a good moral to it. That is: If you have a goal in life, do not be discouraged, keep believing in yourself and don't surrender that dream. Yes, there will be roadblocks and setbacks, but keep moving toward your goal. Pee Wee, had a obstacle to overcome. He was much smaller than the other Christmas trees and was often overlooked. Yet, he got his opportunity to literally shine. Pee Wee was the perfect match for one family, proving that large or small there is room for us all. It is my hope that everyone finds a bit of hope and encouragement in these words.
