Christmas comes to Weatherford, Texas, in this delicious new entry in the national bestselling series.

Yuletide is here - and retired teacher cum amateur sleuth Phyllis Newsom looks forward to finishing up this unlucky year. But she won't be hanging up her apron just yet - because this year's Christmas bake-off is going to be cutthroat.

Phyllis would like to think she's entering the Christmas cookie contest for the fun of it - but that's not exactly true. She can't imagine anyone beating her snowflake-shaped lime sugar cookies. Then, during her annual Christmas cookie exchange, Phyllis heads over to the elderly Mrs. Simmons's home and finds her dead, in a pile of lime sugar cookies. But with a number of names on Santa's naughty list, this case may be a hard cookie to crumble.
