Stalking Around the Christmas Tree is the fourth installment in the A Christmas Tree Farm Mystery series set in Mistletoe, Maine and featuring innkeeper Holly White. Christmas is right around the corner and so is Holly's upcoming wedding to Sheriff Evan Gray. But before she says "I do", Holly has to catch up with a million chores around her family's Christmas Tree Farm; Reindeer Games. She has presents to wrap for the toy drive, reindeer games to host, her handmade jewelry to finish and ship, Christmas cards to write and deliver and also keep an eye on the Inn full of ballerinas.

For the past three years a murder has taken place at Christmastime in Mistletoe and Mayor West is determined that the town's reputation not be ruined forever. So he's encouraged local businesses to chip in the money to bring "The Nutcracker" ballet to town before the dancers perform their final show on Christmas Eve. All seems to be going well until the star of the ballet is discovered dead inside the snow globe she's riding in atop a parade float.

Determined not to let another murder ruin her upcoming wedding, Holly sets out with the help of her BFF Caroline to "pointe" out the killer. But while Holly is trying to figure out who killed Tiffany, she also is tasked with discovering who is stalking Evan's sister Libby. Libby has recently returned to town after testifying against a terrifying criminal, and she's afraid one of his men may have tracked her down and are seeking revenge.

A great addition to the series! A fun afternoon read no matter the season. I look forward to many more adventures with Holly and the Reindeer Games cast.
