Christmas themed murder mystery featuring mortgage lenders Jake Marlowe and Ben Scribner in Tinker's Cove, who have been foreclosing on properties right and left, especially before Christmas. When Marlowe is killed by a mail bomb disguised as a present, Lucy Stone wonders which of their many victims was angry enough to kill...and will they strike again?
Evidently the people who live in Tinker's Cove are idiots, because no one caught the resemblance (or at least mentioned it) between Marlowe and Scribner, and Marlow and Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. That kept me from enjoying the book as much as I should have.
