'Tis the season to be...dead? There is nothing pie and bookshop owner, Bertha Hannah, loves more than Christmas. Smiling faces in the shops, softly falling snow, parties, presents, and - as always - delicious pie. Bert can't wait to spend the holiday cuddled up on the couch in front of a warm fire, after Jack Frost nips at her nose. Unfortunately, things aren't all songs and carols when a bitter rivalry breaks out between the choir directors of her church's holiday concert. The good-natured warmth of the season turns icy when a church member winds up dead and the number one suspect begs Bert to use her sleuthing skills to solve the case and clear their name. Will Bert be able to solve the crime and recapture the Christmas spirit...or will she die trying?
