Wishing you a merry Christmas filled with love, merriment and murder... Frances imagined her Christmas would be another year full of stacking seasonal stock and dealing with customers full of humbug. She wasn't expecting Jonathan to surprise her with a festive trip around the cosy Christmas market. What better way for a group of friends to bond than their traditional outing to the very same Christmas market. No one would expect these two different groups to collide. Especially not when one of the friends dies unexpectedly at the market; with Jonathan and Barry dealing with the case. But it seems that Barry requires a little help from his trusted amateur sleuth - Frances Garnham. Despite the season, Frances discovers that this case is not filled with festive cheer, but deceit, lies and hidden secrets. As the murdering continues, will Frances, with the help of her police companions, be able to uncover the truth behind the festive foul play?
