Hand Caught in the Christmas Cookie Jar: A Newfound Lake Cozy Mystery

By: Virginia K. Bennett

When the town librarian is an avid mystery and true-crime reader, the local law enforcement must need a book-smart assistant like her, right? As December approaches, citizens around Newfound Lake look forward to Santa's Village. Whether it's for the craft fair or the trip to the North Pole to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, everyone becomes a child at heart when they enter the Community Center. The best part about meeting Mrs. Claus is choosing a cookie made by the elves. Librarian Rebecca Ramsey, and other locals, supplement the cookie supply to help out the elves if production is low. This year, Chief Kenny Towne is attending Santa's Village with Rebecca, his two daughters, and his ex-wife. When their visit to the Arctic Circle is over, the night is just beginning. A deceased volunteer is found wrapped up like a present at the bottom of a restricted staircase, and the evidence is on ice. Will Christmas come early this year when the murderer is added to the naughty list, or will Rebecca and Kenny be spending the holidays on a wild-goose chase?
