Emerson Fox is ready to enjoy a quiet Christmas on Sharp Island. All she has to do is get through one week of town festivities. Then her con artist dad is unexpectedly released from prison, a priceless family heirloom disappears during the town's annual tree lighting, and one of a pair of feuding ugly sweater ladies is found dead, impaled by her own knitting needle. Can Three Wise Guys, a bling-obsessed craftswoman, and a disappearing Santa Claus with secrets of his own help Emmy cut through chaos, find the star, and solve the murder in time to clear her dad's name and save Christmas?

This holiday installment of the Emerson Fox mystery series is cozier than a cup of peppermint tea, with more twists and turns than a bowl of ribbon candy, and all the heartwarming fun of a family finally coming together amid the chaos of the holidays.
