This year Agatha's sure that if she invites James to a splendid Christmas dinner, their love will rekindle like a warm Yule log, but that fantasy will have to wait for now.

Now Agatha must set out to find the murderer, even though, in her heart, she's still dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones she and James used to know.
