Amateur sleuth Jillian Green must unwrap a Christmas murder mystery plaguing her Georgia hometown before someone else’s night is silenced.
After spending the last twenty Christmas seasons in California, native Georgian Jillian Green celebrates returning to her family’s antebellum mansion by joyfully decking the halls of Belle Haven for the upcoming Moss Hollow Merry Mansions Tour. However, Jillian’s holiday cheer takes a nose dive when she discovers Herbert Gordon, a new friend of her great-aunt Cornelia''s, dead at the base of a tree while he’s helping string lights outside Belle Haven.
Although at first Herbert’s death appears to be a tragic accident, Cornelia insistently blames foul play, and handsome local coroner Hunter Greyson soon confirms her suspicions. Unfortunately, Jillian quickly realizes that this case is more tangled than a strand of twinkle lights, and lead after lead winds up in a dead end. She soon feels her holiday spirit slipping away, but she knows the best way to restore her festive mood is to uncover the killer before someone else in Moss Hollow gets hurt. If she doesn’t, Herbert’s night might not be the only one silenced this Christmas.
This clever whodunit is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, holiday stories, female friendships, and light romance.
