Poinsettias and Peril: A Magnolia Bluff Holiday Cozy Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276685731)

When the town's most dazzling night turns deadly, the truth won't stay wrapped for long.

The Magnolia Bluff Resort's Christmas gala was meant to sparkle-garlands, music, and poinsettias in every corner. But when prominent philanthropist Gerald Whitaker collapses during the holiday toast, the night of celebration turns into one of chaos.

Whispers swirl around Roy Dawson, the resort's gruff maintenance manager with a temper as short as a strand of faulty lights, and Clara Whitaker, Gerald's estranged daughter whose sudden return to town has everyone talking.

For florist Emery Winslow, the season of giving takes a darker turn. With the Magnolia Circle's help-and Maisie's nose for trouble-she must unravel the tinsel of lies before another light goes out.
