A Very Merry Murder — Mary Angela

It's December in Copper Bluff, and Professor Emmeline Prather is anticipating the university-sponsored holiday concert. Friend and colleague Lenny Jenkins will be accompanying the visiting quartet, Jazz Underground, and Em can't think of a better way to kick start the holiday season. But before she can say "Jingle Bell Rock," one of the band members dies unexpectedly, and suspicion falls on Em. As the clues unravel, so does the murderer's patience. Em is close to finding the truth, but will the truth--or the murderer--push her over the edge? It will take a Christmas miracle to solve this case, but if there's one thing in surplus this time of year, it's faith.
