Merry has no wish to accuse anyone, particularly with a visiting journalist preparing a flattering article about the town's Christmas spirit. Yet when she discovers the reporter's body during a late-night walk with her dog, the police believe he was poisoned with a gingerbread cookie baked by her closest friend. Now Merry must put aside the decorations and track down the real troublemaker before her friend is blamed for the crime.
