Holiday Homicide (A Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery Short Story Book 1)
By Leighann Dobbs
Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a dead man in the storage room and a volunteer roster full of liars.
When Stanley Hooper turns up dead at Echo Falls Town Hall, everyone wants to call it a tragic holiday accident and move on—preferably before the tree-lighting and the cookie exchange.
Nans has other plans.
Nans investigates the Holiday Volunteer Committee, where the tinsel is cheap, the grudges are pricey, and everyone “barely knew” Stanley… right before listing ten reasons he made them consider itwas annoyed but the victim.
Detective Jack wants this wrapped up. Nans wants the truth. And somebody in Echo Falls wants Nans to stop asking questions—before she finds out who made sure Stanley didn’t make it to Christmas.
Good thing Ida packed emergency peppermints.
** This is a Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery short story. About half the length of the regular works but just as much fun!
