A holiday homecoming. A body under the tree. A sheriff caught between family and justice.
Sheriff Cammie Farnsworth wants a quiet Christmas with her boyfriend, Jace Northcott, in Beachport, Maine. His parents aren’t exactly welcoming, but she’s determined to make the best of it. Then the season turns deadly when a man is found murdered beneath the town’s spectacular Christmas tree—and Jace’s father, Harold Northcott, becomes the prime suspect.
With whispers swirling and old grudges resurfacing, Cammie finds herself investigating outside her jurisdiction. To uncover the truth, she must navigate the Northcott family’s strained history, a community eager to judge, and a victim whose enemies are lining up to celebrate his death.
If Cammie gets it wrong, she could destroy a family, shatter her relationship with Jace, and let a killer walk free.
Murder for the Holidays is book seven in the Twin Ponds Mysteries, a suspenseful small-town mystery series where community drama, tangled loyalties, and shocking twists collide.
