Slayed In A Manger - Sam Gordon Mysteries, #1.5

Note to readers: This novella originally appeared in the cozy mystery anthology, Silent Fright. When the holiday party goes from Ho-Ho-Ho to Oh-No-No!In the charming town of Orange Grove Christmas traditions abound from streetlights adorned with garland and wreaths to festive annual parties.  For Sam Gordon it was supposed to be all about holiday cheer, catching up with old friends, and indulging in too many Christmas cookies.
But when her friend's annual party ends with a chorus of police sirens instead of carols, she can't help but leap into the investigation. Armed with her wit, a purple roll of duct tape, and an uncanny ability to attract trouble, Sam must navigate the festive chaos to unwrap the truth. Nothing says the holidays like the gift of frankincense and murder!
