Murder Points North

With one week until Christmas, picturesque Points North, New Hampshire, hasn't seen as much as a token flurry and the temperatures are almost as high as local tempers. The lack of snow, however, is the least of Liesl Alan's worries.

Liesl teaches geology, collects rocks, minerals and ex-husbandsthree at last count. On the brink of turning forty, she finds herself living amongst a group of eccentric "innmates" at the Muddled Moose, an inn her family has owned for generations. Hardly in the Christmas spirit, the last thing Liesl's looking forward to is a night of wearing a too tight, too ruffled, too plaid gown for the village's annual Home for the Holidays open house celebration.

When the event ends in a fiasco and someone from the Muddled Moose is found murdered, Liesl becomes the prime suspect of everyone from the lead homicide detective to her own mother. Fellow residents at the inn are even offering fashion tips for her inevitable perp walk and mug shot.

Determined to prove her innocence and find the real killer, Liesl teams up with a private eye wannabe. With a list of suspects that might as well include all of Points North, she has her work cut out for her, especially when each new clue points her in a different direction.
