Librarian Faith Newberry and her friends team up to uncover the truth when a family reunion goes from festive to fatal. ’Tis the season for treachery when Castleton Manor, a grand literary retreat located in Lighthouse Bay, Massachusetts, hosts a long overdue family reunion. The family has been estranged for decades, ever since a rift developed between two elderly sisters. Librarian Faith Newberry hopes their stay at the upscale mansion will help heal old wounds and give them another reason to celebrate … but those hopes are dashed when one of the sisters meets a mysterious demise. Even though the atmosphere is frightful, the reunion continues as planned, and everyone is required to stay. As Faith and her friends in the Candle House Book Club take the reins in solving the mystery, they uncover bitter rivalries and shocking secrets. Will Faith and her friends—along with her clever cat, Watson—uncover the truth in the nick of time? Or will someone else have the last sleigh? This clever whodunit is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, holiday stories, and female friendships.
