The frostiest receptionist in town eats one of Mrs. Claus's famous mince pies and collapses. Suddenly my kind-hearted rescuer is suspect number one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With elf police posted at the door and Gilbert, the over-helpful house-elf, underfoot, Nick and I dive into small-town rivalries, festive competitions, and very human motives.
