Christmas in Tranquility, New Jersey, means togetherness for the Italian-American Ferrara family-and an unexpected reunion for Alberta Scaglione. But someone has murder on their holiday wish list. . . Alberta is delighted that her estranged daughter has arrived in Tranquility, even if Lisa Marie has an ulterior motive. Her son, Alberta' s twenty-one-year-old grandson, Sergio, hasn' t been heard from in six months, shortly after taking up with a woman named Natalie. Maybe Alberta and her crime-reporting partner-in-sleuthing granddaughter, Jinx, can track him down before Christmas? After some fruitless searching, the Ferraras take a break to attend the Mistletoe Ball, a fundraiser for the local hospital. But the night takes a chilling turn when a snowman decoration splits open, revealing a body. Lisa Marie screams that it' s Natalie-and screams again when she sees a man emerge from behind some Christmas trees. The good news is they' ve found Sergio. The bad news- he' s a prime suspect for murder. It seems Sergio' s former squeeze had some shady secrets. And with more than one family member' s future at stake, Alberta and Lisa Marie will have to put their past behind them and work together, or it' ll be a blue, blue Christmas. . .
