Death by Eggnog by Alex Erickson ( A Bookstore Café Mystery)

It's that time of year, time for eggnog flavored coffee and the annual Christmas play complete with elves who sing and dance. Well Krissy at least tries to sing and dance. She hadn't planned to get involved in the production, that is until "Santa" is slayed and her ex-boyfriend finds himself in the line up. What's a girl to do when the new girlfriend begs her to  help? She help, because that is just the kind of person she is. So between working at the coffee shop, shopping for family and friends for the  holiday, she is sleuthing it up in pointy shoes.  Unfortunately not everybody believed in Santa including the surly tippler who was replaced as the annual jolly old elf only to get his job back when the new Santa was found dead. Not to mention that none of this is helping Krissy's fledgling relationship with the hunky doctor Will who seemed more reserved than usual. The story moves along at a great pace as Krissy lines up the suspects and works her way through the list which is a balancing trick in and of itself. Great read looking forward to Death by Espresso.
