Tinsel, Treason, and Trouble
(2025)(The second book in the Snowfall Sleuth Mystery series)
A novel by Hailey Hartley
Nina Hartwell came to Hollybrook for a fresh start—a charming New England town where she could rebuild her life and run her dream ornament shop, Evergreen Elegance. Six months in, things are finally looking up, especially when wealthy collector Veronica Sterling asks to display her priceless Victorian ornament collection during the town's beloved Community Decorating Night. It's the perfect opportunity for Nina to prove herself to her new community. But when the ornaments vanish from her locked display case and Veronica's assistant turns up dead the next morning, Nina finds herself the prime suspect in both crimes.
With half the town whispering accusations and the police chief warning her not to leave Hollybrook, Nina realizes that clearing her name means solving the mystery herself. Armed with determination, her best friend Beth, and a mischievous gray tabby named Jingle who has an uncanny knack for finding clues, Nina begins to uncover secrets that stretch back fifteen years. The deeper she digs into the world of antique ornaments and art forgery, the more dangerous her investigation becomes. Someone killed to protect their secrets once—and they won't hesitate to do it again.
As Christmas approaches and the evidence mounts, Nina must untangle a web of greed, betrayal, and long-buried grudges before she loses everything she's worked to build in her new hometown. But with a killer watching her every move and mounting pressure from all sides, Nina's running out of time. Can she and Jingle solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? Or will Nina's first Christmas in Hollybrook be her last?
