"Retired Navy pilot Angel Warren's new life awaits in Stonebridge, Pennsylvania, where she's opening Shop 'Round the World, her travel-inspired gift and novelty shop. A newly empty nester and longtime widow, she's looking forward to leaving her flying career and its many life-or-death decisions behind and reconnecting with family and friends. Right now, Angel's biggest challenge is getting the shop ready for its grand opening just weeks before Christmas. Until she finds a dead body in the shop murdered with one of her specialty Santa figurines. Even worse, Angel's fingerprints are on the 'weapon' and she's a prime suspect. It doesn't help that the deceased is an old friend who's collected a long list of enemies as a cut-throat real estate agent. And then there's the Stonebridge Chief of Police--and Angel's high school BFF--who brings her in for questioning. If Angel wants to clear her name before the Christmas rush, she's going to need to do some sleuthing on her own--and with the help of her stressed out parrot, Ralph"--Provided by publisher
