A dark spirit threatens the Pennyfoot Hotel's shiny and bright Christmas in this mystery in Kate Kingsbury's cozy historical series.

The Christmas Angel is a welcome sight during the winter season — but not this year.

But three killings have created a blizzard of bad publicity — and guests are canceling their hotel reservations.
