Spend an hour in a picturesque Italian village where the magic of Christmas collides with cunning villainy in this lighthearted cozy mystery novelette! 

Holly Sharpe would rather jump on a long-haul flight on Christmas Eve Eve to deal with somebody else's family drama, rather than wade through her own pile of divorce papers, bank statements and big life decisions. 

But when she agrees to escape L.A. for a winter break at an Italian villa owned by her English friend Charlotte’s family, Holly’s welcomed to Europe not only by a charming, cobblestoned Christmas market, bagpiping shepherds, and a friendly, fluffy grey cat, but she also finds herself thrust into an atmosphere of suspicion where threatening notes appear, valuable antiques go missing and an uncle falls prey to potentially poisoned gingerbread cookies… hers! 



Can Holly unravel the mysteries threatening to ruin the holiday before succumbing to brain-numbing jet lag, or will Christmas in Italy end up a Fatale Natale?
