A fresh start was supposed to be simple... until murder came knocking. Mystery writer Avery Sanders returns to her charming hometown of Champaign, Illinois, hoping to piece her life back together after a devastating divorce, just in time for twinkling lights, festive cheer, and a season meant for second chances. But when a reunion with familiar faces from her past takes a deadly turn, Avery finds herself at the center of a chilling whodunit. One of her old acquaintances is found murdered... and suddenly, Avery is the prime suspect. With whispers spreading faster than holiday gossip and suspicion tightening around her like a scarf in winter, Avery turns to a few trusted friends to help clear her name. Between puzzling deliveries left on her doorstep and a case that grows more twisted by the day, she's too rattled to focus on writing-let alone staying out of jail. In a town full of secrets, everyone has something to hide... and someone is watching her every move. Can Avery untangle the clues and catch the killer before it's too late? Or will this Mystery author's next story be written from behind bars?
