When it comes to adding a touch of Halloween to Christmas, Elyan Hollow is in peak form. Downtown sports Nightmare Before Christmas decorations, and activities include a \"Santa Claws\" sasquatch game. And this year, there's something else to celebrate: The Elyan Hollow Historical Society has just received a Historical Preservation grant to map out the town's tunnel systems. Jude, their director, is thrilled. But Graham, the leader of the competing historical society, not so much . . . At the Society's winter holiday reception, Jude argues loudly with Graham and Graham's second in command, Walter, a local attorney. As the pair is \"escorted\" out, Walter threatens ruinous revenge. Their arguing continues a few days later at a party in an escape room. But this time, there's no escape for Walter, who collapses . . . dead. Jude is the obvious suspect, but Bailey soon realizes that despite his lawyerly good deeds, there were others on the outs with Walter-and there are other targets as well. Fortunately, Bailey can use several upcoming Christmas parties as fact-finding missions. Because she'll have to map a trail to a killer-before she's history . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmmeline Duncan\u003c\/b\u003e is the Portland, Oregon-based author of the Ground Rules Mystery Series, as well as YA novels written under the name Kelly Garrett.
