First book I've read in this series, and though it was a little shorter than I thought it would be, it was an interesting read. Miz Scarlet runs a Bed and Breakfast in Connecticut, but over Christmas she doesn't usually have guests, but is busy with family.
But this Christmas, Miz Scarlet's best friend, Larry ( a female Connecticut State Trooper) is trying to cope with both of her divorced parents wanting to visit over Christmas. Larry asks Scarlet if her Dad can stay at the Bed and Breakfast, and Scarlet agrees.
Then Larry is involved investigating a teenager's death, and finds out that someone she had put behind bars years ago is on the loose and probably looking for her. This stress, in addition to worrying about her parents, is making it hard for her to deal with her daughter, so Scarlet suggests the daughter also stay at the Bed and Breakfast, which Larry agrees to.
Shortly after this, Larry's Mom finds out that her Dad is staying at the Bed and Breakfast and has a fit because she is stuck at Larry's house. So Scarlet invites the Mom to stay, too.
This makes for an interesting story, with a lot going on. I enjoyed it and will probably read more in the series, although I hope the rest are a bit longer. I just seemed to breeze through it in no time.
