From the publisher

“As entertaining as ever.” –The Horn Book Hazel and Daisy trade mistletoe for a murder investigation and set out to save the day (Christmas Day that is!) in this fabulously festive fifth novel of the Wells &amp; Wong Mystery series.

But there is danger lurking in the dark stairwells of ancient Maudlin College and two days before Christmas, there is a terrible accident. At least, it appears to be an accident–until the Detective Society looks a little closer, and realizes a murder has taken place.
