Christmas in Port Scuttlebutt is a novella with all the mystery, humor, and drama that make up the Double Barrel Mysteries series novels. It also incorporates a tiny bit of Shakespeare’s, The Winter’s Tale, and some of the spirit of Capra’s iconic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, into an original, slightly twisted, holiday story.
