Publisher Description
“This anthology boasts three terrific tales of yuletide murder in coastal Maine…sparkly writing and emotional depth.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
With the fireplace crackling, the tree twinkling, and the carols humming, few things in life are as picture perfect as Christmas in Maine—until murder dampens the holiday spirit. It must be something in the eggnog…
Eggnog Murder by New York Times-bestselling author Leslie Meier
When a gift-wrapped bottle of eggnog—allegedly from the Real Beard Santa Club—proves to be a lethal concoction for a Tinker’s Cove local, all Lucy Stone wants for Christmas is to find the murdering mixologist who’s stirring up trouble.
Death by Eggnog by Lee Hollis
Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell has never cared much for Bar Harbor’s grouchy town librarian, Agatha Farnsworth. But after the Scroogy senior has a fatal—and suspicious—allergic reaction to supposedly non-dairy eggnog, it’s up to Hayley to ladle out some justice.
Nogged Off by Agatha Award finalist Barbara Ross
Julia Snowden’s tenant Imogen Geinkes seems to be jinxed. First, her poorly named “Killer Eggnog” gives all her co-workers food poisoning at the holiday party. Then her boyfriend’s body shows up in Julia’s moving truck as she’s headed back to Busman’s Harbor. Now Julia has to get moving to catch the cold-hearted culprit.
Cozy up with a glass of eggnog and enjoy the spirit of murder and mystery in a Yuletide treat perfect for those winter holidays…</

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This anthology boasts three terrific tales of yuletide murder in coastal Maine. In bestseller Meier's title novella, reporter Lucy Stone featured in 24 full-length mysteries (British Manor Murder, etc.) must discover who poisoned horrid Dorcas Philpott, write a circulation-boosting story for the Tinker's Cove Pennysaver, and mediate a hilarious domestic culture clash when daughter Elizabeth returns from Paris, sporting silk scarves and affectations. In Hollis's "Death by Eggnog," a Hayley Powell Food and Cocktails mystery, tyrannical librarian Agatha Farnsworth dies in exquisitely awful detail at the Restaurant Association Dinner, first choking on fiery wings made by Hayley's restaurateur brother, Randy, then suffering anaphylaxis after gulping eggnog mislabeled as nondairy. Julia Snowden, the heroine of five Maine Clambake mysteries (Fogged Inn, etc.), unwittingly brings trouble home to her mother's for Christmas in Ross's "Nogged Out," a creepily convincing tale of tinsel-decked, cookie-scented psychopathology. It's not just the nog: sparkly writing and emotional depth link this trio of holiday cozies.
