Cecily Sinclair Baxter and her husband, Hugh, haven't been back to Badgers End in two years--not since they sold the Pennyfoot Hotel and the new owner turned it into a country club. But when Cecily receives a letter asking her to manage the hotel-turned-country-club during the Christmas season, she's delighted to accept. Hugh, however, is not quite so enthusiastic--especially when he discovers that the previous manager met a mysterious end.
