Merry Murder Season

Jill Gardner-or as she's now known, Jill King-is working to provide gifts for needy kids this Christmas. But someone's about to puncture the holiday spirit . . .



Jill's store, Coffee, Books, and More, is co-sponsoring a charity dart tournament on Thanksgiving weekend with Chip's Bar, where toys and cash will be collected. She and her new husband, Greg, will be competing as well-that is, if Greg's brother and his girlfriend don't ruin the evening. But the event leads to something much worse than a family squabble when the bar owner is found dead the next morning after being used as a human dartboard . . .



Jill and her police-detective hubby both aim to find the killer-but scoring a bullseye will be hard since the place was packed with a rowdy crowd of locals and a platoon of stuffed-animal-toting, very competitive motorcyclists. And with the night's big haul of cash donations left untouched, what could possibly be the motive for this murder?
