All isn’t calm for antiques dealer Maggie Watson as she balances holiday demands with solving a decades-old mystery. Antiques shop owner Maggie Watson is trying to prepare for Christmas with her daughter, Emily, but Carriage House Antiques has been bustling continuously with gift-seeking customers. As if that weren’t enough, Maggie is swiftly caught up in a mystery surrounding an elaborate antique angel she recently purchased at the estate sale of late socialite Abigail Conrad, whose dubious final demands make it clear she was no saint. Maggie is besieged by strangers with uncanny interest in the antique, including Abigail’s scorned nephew, Simon, an unscrupulous out-of-towner with devilish intentions. When an odd item dislodged from inside the angel’s works disappears nearly as soon as it is found, Maggie goes to confront Simon—and discovers him dead under suspicious circumstances. Determined to solve Simon’s death and decipher the puzzle of his aunt’s cryptic final wishes, Maggie presses on despite her holiday stress. Will she succeed before someone else suffer a fatal fall from grace? This clever whodunit is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, holiday stories, and female friendships.
