Good continuation of the Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries making it nice to revisit familiar characters.

From dust jacket: In the spirit of the season, Cecily Sinclair Baxter opens the doors of the Pennyfoot Hotel to host a holiday party where the children of Badgers End can meet Father Christmas. Unfortunately, the jolly old man fails to appear. Worse still, instead of a sack full of toys, he's left behind one of his helpers--a dead footman. who's apparently fallen off the roof.

The footman was in the service of Sid Porter, a notorious village drunkard who assumed the role of St. Nicholas when the first choice fell ill. All suspect Sid was involved in the footman's death--until his Fther Christmas-clothed corpse is found with a knife wound in his chest.

What appears to be an open and shut case--the footman stabbed Sid before tumbling off the roof--bothers Cecily, though, because the murder weapon was never recovered. And since no one has left the hotel since the crime, she's making a list of suspects and checking it twice...

#14 in the Pennyfoot Hotel series and one of her special Christmas mysteries at the hotel. This is the first one I have read of this series. I enjoyed it and even though it is a continuing series I didn't feel like I was left out or lost or behind. It was interesting even though I thought I figured out the killer about 3/4 way through the book. But it is fun to see society's rules in the time period. I definitely want to read more in this series.
