It’s Christmastime in Gold Leaf Valley, a small town in Northern California. Senior sleuth Martha, her twenty-something roommate Pru, and Martha’s dog, Teddy, are waiting to see Santa at the town hall.
When Pru stumbles across a dead body in the open storm drain outside, Martha wants to investigate!
But when they hear about burglars stealing people’s gifts from under their Christmas trees, they decide to solve that case as well.
As president of the senior sleuthing club, Martha declares they can easily investigate both crimes, and writes down a list of suspects.
After they come face to face with the burglars, will they still have time to catch the killer? Or will they have enjoyed their last Christmas in Gold Leaf Valley?
This is a fun, clean, dog cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, hot chocolate drinking – and Teddy, the adorable Coton de Tulear puppy!
