It's beginning to look a lot like . . . Murder.
It's Christmastime, and farmer Lucy Resnick is living the life she's always dreamed of. When she's not selling her jams, soaps, and mistletoe bundles at the Buttercup Christmas Market, she's enjoying cozy evenings by the fire with her knitting group—or her handsome veterinarian boyfriend Tobias Brandt. But less than a week before Christmas, a pall falls over the festive atmosphere when local man Randy Stone turns up with a knife in his back . . . and a sprig of mistletoe in his hair.
Local sheriff Rooster Kocurek, never the brightest bulb on the string, is convinced it's an open-and-shut case—murder by jealous wife—but Lucy suspects otherwise. She soon discovers that Randy's life was more tangled than last year's Christmas lights . . . and that unless she wraps up the case fast, there might be more than one funeral this holiday season.
