It's Christmas in Estes Park, Colorado: cozy fires, twinkling lights, soft snowfall, and...murder.
The winter holidays in charming Estes Park lull Winifred Page and her corgi, Watson, into thoughts of eggnog and gingersnaps as they settle into their new home. Fred's dream bookshop is becoming a reality, and with Christmas only days away, her only concerns are spending time with family, enforcing Watson's diet, and finding the perfect gifts.
The toy store beckons Fred and her friend Katie, who dash in out of the cold during a shopping spree to discover handmade toys, cuddly stuffed animals...and a dying man on the floor. When Katie's desperate attempts to save the man end in her being taken in for his murder, Fred once again dons her detective hat. She puts aside her Christmas list and - with Watson sniffing around - begins a list of suspects.
But as quickly as clues point to one person, new discoveries shift the spotlight to another. With Katie's freedom in the balance, Fred has little time to think about gifts or to enjoy the holiday lights and music. A killer is on the loose, one who became violent in a picture-perfect Christmas toy shop, and Fred and Watson can't begin to predict what might happen next....
