Więcej o książce

Bestselling authors Rita Mae Brown and her feline partner, Sneaky Pie Brown, return for a holiday mystery featuring Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen, along with her sleuthing cats, Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and corgi Tee Tucker. In the cozy town of Crozet, Virginia, the festive spirit is threatened by a killer. As Harry enjoys the Christmas ambiance—snowflakes, soft winter light, and carols—she and her husband, Fair, head to a tree farm run by The Brothers of Love, a semimonastic group caring for AIDS patients. To their shock, they discover a dead body grimly hanging from the tree they chose. Among the brothers, Harry encounters an old high-school friend, Christopher Hewitt, whose past misdeeds have left him in need of redemption. As the holiday season progresses, a murderer becomes increasingly bold, targeting prominent men in Crozet. With each victim crossed off Christmas lists and added to the morgue, Harry realizes that her own life could be at stake. With the help of her four-legged companions, she must unravel the mystery before her last Christmas becomes a grim reality.
