Plum Pudding Murder

It's Christmas in Lake Eden, and Hannah is busier than a one armed paperhanger, making cookies for a Christmas tree lot owned by Larry and his fiancee, Courtney. Delores and Norman both ask for her help, though, because Norman's mother (and Delores's friend and business partner) Carrie is acting bizarre: cancelling long standing plans and giving conflicting excuses as to why she can't make it. Hannah goes to a small business owner's class with her mom that Carrie was supposed to go to, and learns some things about shady business practices that make her take a second look at Larry's Christmas tree farm. When she and Norman go by one night to pick up a check he owes her, they find Larry murdered. Turns out Larry was stealing from his investors and socking away the profits, leaving the Christmas tree farm in the red. He was lying to everyone, so quite a few people had a good motive to kill him.
