The Steepest Shock

Christmas in Estes Park should be merry and bright, but when the town’s annual tree lighting ceremony ends with a fatal shock, the celebration turns deadly. Ellie Read, bookshop owner and some time sleuth, can’t ignore the suspicious timing of the accident. Was it sabotage, or a carefully planned murder hiding in plain sight?

And while Ellie digs into tangled rivalries and hidden grudges, the windows of her bookshop begin frosting over with mysterious messages from a restless spirit. The ghost’s desperate attempts to reach the living may hold the key to more than just a tragedy from the past.

Cozy mystery, a dash of the paranormal, and a mountain town decked in holiday lights will keep you guessing right through the final twist.
