It's Christmas in the Holiday Mansion and Juniper has this years party gift-wrapped and under the tree!

Christmas at the Holiday mansion is always a festive affair. The residents of Crescent Cove look forward to Juniper's yard decorations almost as much as an invitation to one of her parties-and this year everyone has been invited. What could possibly go wrong with a mansion full of people and non-humans?

Murder of the ho-ho-ho variety, that's what. Santa's not so jolly anymore and Juniper can't help but be suspicious of Mrs. Claus. Detective Mallard is convinced one of the elves is responsible. Victoria thinks it was an accident. Nobody can be sure, however, because there was no witness-not even the ghosts saw what happened.

Juniper is determined to discover the murderer before Christmas Day, which doesn't give her much time. Will she manage, or will Santa's murderer go free to sleigh again?
