Still healing from a past tragedy, ex-Minneapolis cop Claire Watkins is plunged into a shattering murder case. When a widower is murdered at a local dance, Claire senses a desperate relief from his orphaned teenagers. And she becomes more immersed in the crime, she uncovers a startling connection to the victim's wife's accidental death and the secrets that premeditated both incidents.
In a steel-mill town on the verge of an economic comeback, two prominent men are found dead within days of each other. In each case, the known character of the man seems grossly more contradicted by the circumstances of his death. But, as assistant county prosecutor Stella Marz discovers, the victims and their deaths may be connected in ways that no one would ever suspect.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Merry Winters is excited for her dream-come-true moment: Being an on-site crafter for a Christmas movie. The tidings of joy are short-lived as she finds herself becoming a referee, dealing with a raging Ebenezer, participating in a bucket brigade, and finding evidence in a "murder."
Is someone trying to stop the production or is it tied to a secret someone has on Luna Carmichael, the star of the movie and the queen of Christmas?
When Marie, Luna's assistant, stumbles away from a car accident and dies, Merry believes the accident wasn't quite so accidental. Was Luna or Marie the target? Merry finds more questions than answers, but one thing is certain: Everyone has an ulterior motive for being part of the production--including Marie.
After another murder, Merry wonders if the deaths are tied to a baby born long ago and abandoned. And more importantly, will Merry live long enough to find out?

Jake smells a cover-up, and begins poking into past history between McIlwaine and Ellie's family. But someone doesn't like nosy neighbors...and Jake's rustic refuge may become her final resting place.
