A DELICIOUS CHRISTMAS COZY MYSTERY TREAT It's Christmas time and pie shop owner, Bertha Hannah, is gearing up with a brand new Gingerbread Pie and a little holiday shopping. Bert and her best friend Carla find themselves in a spending mood as the newest mall in the area advertises a plethora of specialty shops, department stores, and restaurants. It's time for a girl's day out Off on their festive adventure, the ladies run into Detective Mannor--a man Bert recently turned down for a date-and the day heads rapidly downhill when a body is discovered in one of the mall's most popular shops. A cheerful season of peace and goodwill has turned blood red with homicide and it's up to Bert to figure out the mystery before Santa can say Ho-Ho-Ho.
