Knife Before Christmas

Christmas has come to Lighthouse Cove, but business hasn''t slowed down for Shannon Hammer. She''s been contracted to renovate a local hotel owned by the Garrisons, a family that''s so devoted to the holidays they serve a seven-course dinner every night from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Last year''s festivities featured a train that transported guests around the breathtaking Cliffside property. This year, Shannon and her crew have been commissioned to build a Victorian-style carnival midway with games and prizes galore. Everyone in town loves the hotel''s spirit, except the Garrisons'' children and their spouses, who are hum-bugged by the money being wasted on holiday cheer while their inheritance goes up the chimney. Things turn nasty when a mischief-maker close to the family is found dead. It''s up to Shannon and Mac to catch a sinister Scrooge before all of Lighthouse Cove receives coal for Christmas.
