Good-news reporter Rainbow Goldman can’t wait for her stress-free Christmas holiday to begin — but then her friend is accused of murder.

No matter how desperate she is for some R&R, Rainbow can't stand by and let her talented handywoman pal go to jail for something she didn’t do.

But who is going to believe an ‘airhead’ former beauty queen? Her only option is to uncover the truth.

Rainbow can't believe that people who inhabit gorgeous brownstone homes in swanky Brooklyn Heights would have any reason to bicker. But behind those hand-carved oak doors lie feuds and intrigue galore, not to mention some highly questionable décor.

Armed with her reporter’s instincts, her pet ferret, and her designer wardrobe, Rainbow’s nose for news sniffs behind every evergreen wreath and sparkling Christmas tree on the block. Potential culprits start popping up everywhere, not unlike that creepy Elf on a Shelf. Is it the sketchy superintendent? The two-timing wife? Or could it be the disgruntled next door neighbor whose ferret mysteriously disappeared? Rainbow had better watch out before she winds up buried underneath an elegant stoop...

Find out how Rainbow's crime-solving career began. Fans of Gina Lamanna, Maddie Day, and Laura Levine will gobble up this fast-paced, funny, and slightly overdecorated 'appeteasing' intro to Rainbow's New England Cozy Mysteries!
