Students are studying, professors are grading, and Emmeline Prather is anticipating the university-sponsored holiday concert. Friend and colleague Lenny Jenkins will be accompanying the visiting quartet, Jazz Underground, and Em can't think of a better way to kick-start the holiday season.</p><p><br /> But before she can say "Jingle Bell Rock," trouble arrives at Candlelight Inn, the bed and breakfast where the quartet is staying. One of the band members dies unexpectedly, and suspicion falls on Em, whose altercation with the man ends with him on the fl oor. He never recovers, and now she's worried her reputation might not either. When Emmeline starts to see parallels between an Agatha Christie novel she's teaching and the victim, Lenny claims she's read one too many mysteries.</p><p><br /> As the clues unravel, so does the murderer's patience. Em is close to fi nding the truth, but will the truth--or the murderer--push her over the edge? It will take a Christmas miracle to solve this case, but if there's one thing in surplus this time of year, it's faith.</p><p><br /> Book Three of the Professor Prather Mystery Series</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>" "Another carefully woven plot by Mary Angela with a tip of the hat to Agatha Christie."</p><p>--MapYourMystery.com</p><br><br><p>"Cozy mystery fans will love the small town scene and protagonist--spirited, clever, and very human professor Emmeline (Em) Prather.
