Christmas on the island was supposed to be full of cheer-not theft, murder, and mystery.

This was the first time Harper Lansbury hosted Christmas at her house on Marilee Island, and it was going well-until her parents stumbled on a dead body in the botanical gardens. The last thing Harper wants is to involve her parents in the investigation. That leads to secret book club meetings and sneaking around to talk to suspects. Another photojournalist in competition with the dead man makes a good suspect, but is it a simple case of jealousy? When a botanist ends up dead mere feet from where the first victim died, Harper suspects there's more to the botanical gardens than meets the eye and not everyone is who they say they are. Harper and the book club have to race against time, keep her parents away from the investigation, and solve a murder all before Christmas.

Can Harper and the book club ladies figure out who's behind the murders, or will Christmas be ruined?
