A Santa Stabbing

- Blurb -

She didn' t realize she' d traded "Naval Aviator" for "amateur sleuth". . . Retired Navy pilot Angel Warren' s new life awaits in Stonebridge, Pennsylvania, where she' s opening Shop ' Round the World, her travel-inspired gift and novelty shop. A newly empty nester and longtime widow, she' s looking forward to leaving her flying career and its many life-or-death decisions behind and reconnecting with family and friends. Right now, Angel' s biggest challenge is getting the shop ready for its grand opening just weeks before Christmas. Until she finds a dead body in the shop murdered with one of her specialty Santa figurines. Even worse, Angel' s fingerprints are on the "weapon" and she' s a prime suspect. It doesn' t help that the deceased is an old friend who' s collected a long list of enemies as a cut-throat real estate agent. And then there' s the Stonebridge Chief of Police-and Angel' s high school BFF-who brings her in for questioning. If Angel wants to clear her name before the Christmas rush, she' s going to need to do some sleuthing on her own-and with the help of her stressed out parrot, Ralph.
