IT'S A CRIME THE WAY THE OFFICE IS RUN THESE DAYS.

Between the murder of frail Mr. Takahashi, who owned the greenhouse near Betty Trenka's home, and the stroke that incapacitates her retired boss Sid, Betty's not in the best of spirits.

So when Sid Junior asks her to clear out his father's files, she starts packing, glad to be able to help Sid Senior, the only man she's ever loved. But the feeling of unease that pervades the office is unnerving. Betty can't help wondering why people are so interested in her little assignment. Perhaps the crammed files will provide the key--under M for murder. . . .

Description

After ending a long relationship with a good man and then losing a close family member, Em, the ‘city girl’ seeks serenity and solitude in a small village. She heads to Greenburg, in the southern part of the state, for a little ‘R and R’ and to complete her manuscript by the deadline.
The first person she encounters, even before she arrives in Greenburg, is Brad and their friendship begins, and quickly blossoms into a romance. But all too soon Em meets Allison, Brad’s ex-girl friend, who declares that Brad is hers and for Em to leave him alone. That is all the convincing Em needed and she decides to bow out, because in Em’s opinion, Allison is a scary person. But Brad convinces her to savor the moment and not worry about Allison.
Meanwhile, Mindy and Justin, Em’s next-door neighbors, in Greenburg, take her under their wing and introduce her to Greenburg’s charming Christmas traditions. Em is enchanted by the village and its friendly, down to earth residents.

Retired businesswoman Betty Trenka figures that typing the memoirs of a famous artist could be fun. That is, until she meets the ruthlessly vain Crispin Abbott and the bikini-clad blonde who shares his luxuriously remodeled farmhouse in rural Connecticut. These two are clearly not your typical neighbors.

Betty senses trouble even before her old school chum, former supermodel Viola Roman, comes racing up from Manhattan to escape the harsh light of publicity after being linked to a murder. Yet nothing prepares Betty for the violence about to explode in her own backyard.

So instead of a few soothing weeks spent typing Crispin Abbott's outrageous memoirs, Betty is up to her keyboard in a deadly investigation, tracking down a killer....
