โTwas the week before Christmas, and Julia Snowdenโs escape from New York has just hit a snag. Fresh off accidentally poisoning half her colleagues with her โKiller Eggnog,โ Juliaโs would-be subletter, Imogen Geinkes, is now jobless and homelessโleading Julia to invite the young woman home for the holidays in Maine. But when they unload the rental truck in Busmanโs Harbor, they find something that wasnโt on anyoneโs packing list: the body of Imogenโs former boyfriend.
Suddenly, the wordplay in Imogenโs nameโโIโm a jinxโโisnโt so adorable. But for all the calamities that follow in Imogenโs wake, Juliaโs certain sheโs no killer. As Julia digs into the case, the appearance of the exโs brotherโhis identical twinโdoubles the confusion. Has Imogene been double-crossed by an evil twin? Was the eggnog โaccidentโ no accident at all? If Julia doesnโt unwrap the murdererโs true identity soon, one of the twelve days of Christmas could be her last . . .
