No one does Christmas quite like the staff of the Pennyfoot Hotel, where excitement and intrigue are always around every corner.

This year, as friends, family and guests converge on the Pennyfoot for the holiday season, Cecily Sinclair Baxter is up to her ears in preparations to make this Christmas special. Cecily is especially excited for her best friend, Madeline, will be joining them for the holidays with her new baby. But as in years past, bad luck seems to be a constant visitor to the Pennyfoot, especially during the Yuletide season, and this year is no exception. Although kissing under the mistletoe is a centuries-old tradition, at the Pennyfoot, people who are spied kissing under the merry bough keep turning up dead, and it's up to Cecily to figure out who the killer is before more deaths and additional fears ruin the Christmas holidays. And if that's not enough mayhem to keep Cecily busy, Madeline's sweet baby turns up missing, and time is running out to find the baby, solve the crimes, and reign in the chaos before Christmas is upon them.

Kate Kingsbury is the Queen of English cozy mysteries and her special Pennyfoot Christmas editions are always a special treat!

Book Summary

This holiday season there'll be murder under the mistletoe at the Pennyfoot Hotel...

As friends, family, and guests gather at the Pennyfoot Hotel to share the joys of the season, Cecily Sinclair Baxter and her staff are hustling and bustling more than ever. Cecily's friend Madeline arrives with her new baby and adds a kissing bough to the decorations. Cecily believes that the holiday couldn't get off to a better start...

But after a footman and a new maid are seen kissing under the bough and then turn up dead afterwards, the downstairs staff is convinced a serial killer is among them...perhaps the mysterious guest known only as J. Mortimer. When Madeline's baby disappears, Cecily desperately tries to find the child. If she doesn't catch this killer in time, everyone's cheer will quickly turn to fear.
