My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This short holiday mystery has Mandy Murrin serving as the town's Glitter Queen, where they have to dress up embarrassingly (it was saddled on her by a petty frenemy) and pick the best holiday decorations that the small town neighbors put out. They take it very seriously and it goes even more serious when the elderly lady who has won the last several years (and also has the best eggnog recipe) dies with the shattered remains of the trophy around her.
Mandy has to determine did the former winner merely die of old age or did someone clock her with the trophy to remove an obstacle to their winning this year's glitter prize? It was an entertaining story, a bit lightweight and not entirely memorable but fun.
