"'Tis the season to be jolly, but Cora Felton, shanghaied into 'The Twelve Days of Christas' as a most reluctant maid-a-milking, has reason to feel like a grinch. The partridge from the pear tree has been replaced with a cryptic puzzle -- one that promises the death of an actress. Could the threat be aimed at Cora and her thespian debut? Or at Sherry, one of the ladies-dancing? Or at Sherry's nemesis, the pagenat's predatory lead? But the show must go on -- until a killer strikes in a most unexpected manner. And when Sherry becomes a prime suspect and the murderer strikes again, it's up to the detecting duo to read between the lines -- before this becomes a Christmas to die for."
