Mistletoe Murders

Premise

When Emily Lane isn’t busy running her charming Christmas-themed store, “Under the Mistletoe,” located in the quaint tourist town of Fletcher’s Grove, she finds herself compelled to investigate not so quaint local murders. On the surface, Emily is a perfectly lovely, good-natured puzzle-solver and mystery lover. But she is hiding a secret past from everyone in town. And when Emily begins her personal investigations, Detective Constable Sam Wilner, a smart and attractive local cop — with a crush on Emily that is not completely unrequited — begins to wonder if there's more to Emily than meets the eye.
