Christmas comes to Zinnia, Mississippi—Sarah Booth Delaney
must solve a case as the holiday approaches, in this new
cozy mystery from Carolyn Haines
Christmas is just around the corner and Sarah Booth and
Tinkie are preparing for a festive holiday season. After a
turbulent season of solving cases, they’re ready for some
holiday cheer. Sarah Booth and Sheriff Coleman Peters have
finally gotten together, and this is the first holiday
they’re celebrating as a couple. Sarah Booth busies herself
with decking the halls and daydreaming about romantic
Christmas nights with Coleman.
Then her friend Cece Dee Falcon shows up needing Sarah
Booth’s help—right now. She shows Sarah Booth a box that was
delivered by courier and left at Cece’s front porch. It
contains a lock of hair, a photograph of a pretty young
woman, very pregnant, and a note demanding ransom for the
return of the teen. Cece reveals that this is her cousin’s
daughter, Eve Falcon, and that she’d lost touch with this
part of her family years ago. Eve and Cece had been close,
until the family had a terrible falling out, and banished
Cece from their lives. The countdown begins as the kidnapper
pushes for payment—or else, he threatens, Eve will meet her
maker. It’s up to Sarah Booth and her friends to find the
girl before something terrible happens on what should be the
merriest day of the year.
Carolyn Haines’s trademark humor and lovable characters are
back, in a heartwarming Christmas story that will enchant
and delight readers looking for a suspenseful mystery
wrapped in joyful holiday merriment.
