Shadows, Spirits, and Suspicion: A Snowfall Sleuth Mystery (The Snowfall Sleuth Mysteries Book 6)
By Hailey Hartley
Harper Raventhorpe loves her job leading Christmas ghost tours through the charming Victorian streets of Pinewood Hollow. With her intuitive black cat Midnight by her side, she spins delightfully spooky tales for tourists eager to experience a little holiday fright. Her most popular story features the fictional “Christmas Eve Strangler,” a Victorian-era villain who murdered his fiancée with vintage Christmas garland on the steps of the historic Pemberton House. It’s pure invention, designed to thrill tourists and boost business—until the morning Harper discovers that someone has turned her made-up murder into horrifying reality.
When a ruthless real estate developer is found strangled with antique garland in exactly the way Harper described during her tour, Harper becomes the prime suspect in a very real murder investigation. With her business and freedom on the line, Harper must figure out which of her tour attendees used her ghost story as a blueprint for murder. Was it the developer’s betrayed business partner? The desperate inn owner facing financial ruin? The disinherited nephew? Or someone else with secrets to hide? As Harper and Midnight investigate, they uncover a web of lies, broken promises, and shattered dreams—all leading back to one night when fiction became fatal.
Racing against time and a killer who’s willing to strike again to protect their secret, Harper discovers that the stories we tell can have dangerous consequences. With Midnight’s uncanny instincts guiding her through the investigation, Harper must solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim in a Christmas tale gone terribly wrong. In this heartwarming yet suspenseful finale to The Snowfall Sleuth Mysteries, Harper learns that sometimes the most powerful magic isn’t found in ghost stories, but in the courage to create something new from the ashes of tragedy.
