But bookseller Summer Merriwether’s holiday cheer turns to cringing fear when she uncovers a deadly secret about her late mother—a secret someone will kill to keep. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eWhen the local library hosts a cozy-mystery panel discussion, Summer learns that one of the authors on the panel based her book on an actual murder that shook Brigid’s Island thirty-five years before. Worse yet, she soon learns that her dearly missed mother, Hildy, took a disturbingly deep interest in the case, going so far as to collect clippings and keep a journal of the dark doings—which doesn’t jibe at all with Summer’s memories of her usually cheery mother. Tidings get worse when Summer learns of her long-lost biological family’s involvement in the crime—and still worse when the life of the book’s author is threatened. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eWith the help of Hildy’s plucky book club, Summer puts her scholarly smarts to work on protecting the cozy author and solving the decades-old murder. But this ghost from Christmas past may still be deadly in the present, and if she can’t find the killer, Summer’s future will be brief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dreamscape","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49364474495280,"sku":"BDf1t6","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49364474528048,"sku":"ZEf1t6","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49364474822960,"sku":"ZMf1t6","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/f1t6-Square-cover.webp?v=1790693336","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f1t6","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
