Marry Christmas Murder is the fifth installment in the Wedding Planner Mystery series featuring Mallory Shepard and her sister Rachel, owners of the Thistle Park B & B located in the small town of Port Quincy, PA. Mallory is excited to be planning for the Spring wedding of her best friend Olivia March and preparing for the upcoming Paws and Poinsettias, animal charity event hosted by Olivia's family.
The March family has a reputation for being shrewd land developers and now that they've made their way to Port Quincy and purchased large tracts of land, some of the townspeople are not too happy. A huge part of their development business is the home staging department, and it seems that current designer Lacey Adams is having issues with some March family members. When Mallory's mother, Carole announces that she and her husband have sold their home in Florida and are moving back to Port Quincy full time, Mallory and Rachel are pleasantly surprised. That is until Carole announces that she wants the designer's job and Lacey drops dead at the Paws and Poinsettias event, leaving all fingers pointing to Carole as the killer.
Desperate to get her mother out of jail before Christmas, Mallory sets out with the help of beau Garrett Davies and his father Chief of Police Truman Davies to clear her mother's name. A fast paced plot that includes a baby in a manger, twisted and sinister family dynamics, a shotgun wedding and a relationship put to the test.
