“A top-notch thriller . . . The identities of the murderer and the twelfth victim come as a stunner” (Publishers Weekly).
 
At Maude Daneson’s rooming house, the holiday season has everyone bustling about in anticipation, and Maude herself is planning a glorious Christmas dinner.
 
But neither the landlady nor her lodgers realize that a killer walks among them. The police have so far been unable to track the culprit—and when murder strikes close to home, it threatens to chill the festive mood.
 
“A fast-moving, one-sitting treat.” —Kirkus Reviews
