  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;An all-new Yuletide mystery featuring the incomparable staff of the Pennyfoot Hotel&#8212; from &#8220;a descendant of Agatha Christie.&#8221;(&lt;I&gt;The Statesman Journal&lt;/I&gt;) (OR)&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; A merry hustle-and-bustle always heralds the holidays at the Pennyfoot. Even as she prepares for the holiday meal, Cecily Sinclair Baxter is also helping her friend Madeline plan her wedding. And this year, Cecily has a cracking surprise for her guests&#8212;Christmas crackers. Once the crackers pop, one lucky guest will discover a beautiful pearl brooch&#8230;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; But when two crackers go astray, things turn less than jolly. A mysterious fire has broken out in an upstairs room, killing the mood&#8212;and two guests. And at the bottom of it all: one of the missing Christmas crackers. Cecily&#8217;s dead-set on solving this mystery before another deadly present turns up&#8230;</default_description>

Well, that sounded intriguing, but the result, unfortunately, not so much.

    <body><![CDATA[The annual Pennyfoot Hotel mystery has exploding Christmas crackers and a phantom snowman that's making everyone a little spooked.  To be honest, the secondary story with Gertie and the snowman was more interesting than the murder mystery itself.
