TINSEL AND TRAGEDY: A Snowfall Sleuth Mystery (The Snowfall Sleuth Mysteries Book 4)
By Hailey Hartley
Nora Galloway’s Christmas lighting business is finally getting the recognition it deserves when she lands the biggest contract of her career—decorating the sprawling Winterwood Estate for the town’s most exclusive holiday gala. With her trusty (if overly enthusiastic) golden retriever Biscuit by her side, Nora creates a winter wonderland that should be the crowning achievement of her career. But when she arrives for a final inspection and discovers the estate owner’s business partner dead beneath her elaborate archway display, her dream job becomes a nightmare. The death looks like an electrical accident caused by faulty equipment, and suddenly Nora’s reputation, her business, and her freedom are all on the line.
As the local sheriff investigates what appears to be a staged murder scene, Nora realizes someone has gone to great lengths to make her look guilty. With her assistant Riley and seasonal helper Owen, she begins asking questions that uncover decades of secrets hidden behind Winterwood’s elegant facade—business fraud, bitter betrayals, and mysteries buried deeper than the December frost. Biscuit’s persistent digging in the estate gardens reveals clues that suggest this murder is connected to something far more sinister than a simple business dispute gone wrong. But the more Nora uncovers, the more dangerous her situation becomes, as someone is determined to silence her permanently.
In this fourth installment of The Snowfall Sleuth Mysteries, Nora must untangle a web of blackmail, broken promises, and hidden crimes before she becomes the next victim of a killer who’s willing to destroy everything—and everyone—to protect their secrets. Can a small-town lighting designer and her chaotic canine companion illuminate the truth before the case goes dark? Find out in this sparkling cozy mystery that proves even the brightest holiday displays can hide the darkest secrets.
