It'd be the season to be jolly if only someone hadn't set the stage for murder.

The Dickens script did not include the dead body on the stage. When a student at Cold Creek College is arrested for the crime, Professor Sheridan Hendley is cast in the role of amateur sleuth. Only the student is Marty's nephew and the detective on the case is Brett. Tensions run high, friendships are strained, and the college administration is beginning to panic.

With visits to the community theater and interactions with quirky and defensive students and faculty in Fine arts, it's clear the dead director will not be missed. As the plot thickens Sheridan is yet again drawn deeper into danger. Will she find the truth before the final curtain call? Read this holiday-themed mystery and find out.
