"Based on the Universal television series created by Peter S. Fischer, Richard Levinson & William Link."

"Jessica Fletcher is high in holiday spirits, spearheading the annual Christmas parade and preparing for her family to come to town. The only thing dampening the holiday cheer is the discovery of two sets of bones on Jessica's property; one set ancient, the other only about a year old. She suspects the remains might be connected and everything seems to come back to a mystery that has long plagued Cabot Cove. If she wants to solve the case, she'll need to delve into her beloved town's dark history, or else this holiday season may be her last."--Back cover
