No one in Josephine's plein-air watercolor class thought that Mary Milford, also known as Mary Christmas because of her fabulous Christmas decorations, would fall off the Capitola cliffs into the Pacific Ocean. One minute she was there--painting--and the next minute her red sweater was floating in the rough water. When the authorities determine it was murder, Josephine is all in-studying every angle, every person of interest. Besides poking around in everyone's business to uncover Mary's killer, Jo and her friend, Alicia, are working hard creating watercolor paintings to sell at the Aromas Christmas Art Festival. A deadline looms.As she homes in on the killer, Josephine teams up with Mary's sister, Marla, and they catch a plane to Tijuana in search of a suspect. The trip proves to be revealing and highly dangerous. The police are slow to take Josephine's claims seriously and the well being of a five-year-old girl depends on Josephine's skill, instinct and--dumb luck. Can Jo find out WHO MURDERED MARY CHRISTMAS before she becomes the next victim?
