The forecast for Christmas in Sevier Oak, Tennessee is rain with a high chance of a humbug. But Garnet Stone won’t let the gloomy weather ruin her first holiday with new boyfriend, Leo Voss, including a storm cloud named Drake.
Leo’s grandpa doesn’t approve of his grandson dating his bookstore’s rival. During an author signing at Voss-of-Books, Garnet attends to support Leo and hopes to demonstrate her worth to Drake. What should be a straightforward plan crumbles. Author Yasmin Starr is a shameless flirt and sets her sights on Leo. Shortly into the signing, Yasmin takes a break – and goes missing.
Garnet helps with the search, only to find Leo standing over Yasmin’s body on the rooftop. While the police turn to him as their primary suspect, Garnet strives to prove he’s not the culprit.
Yasmin made plenty of enemies in her brief visit to Sevier Oak and the suspects list is as long as a tangled strand of Christmas bulbs. Can Garnet bring the real killer to justice?
