In Rudolph, New York, it's Christmastime all year long. But this December, while the snow-lined streets seem merry and bright, a murder is about to ruin everyone's holiday cheer in the first Year-Round Christmas Mystery. 
 
 
 
As the owner of Mrs. Claus's Treasures, Merry Wilkinson knows how to decorate homes for the holidays.
