Under the Cocoon Moon: An Olivia Penn Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956270099)

A dead body in the woods ... A rare sapphire is missing ... The connection changes her life forever.

Olivia Penn is looking forward to spending time with her friends and family over the holidays in her hometown of Apple Station, Virginia. The Christmas season's spirit has sparked a new romance, and all is looking merry and bright, until she is mistaken for a dead woman.

When a stranger makes a wild accusation involving the parents of the man she's falling for, Olivia faces a no-win situation. As evidence mounts supporting the claim, a mysterious murder occurs near his father's cabin that attracts the attention of the FBI. Wedged between mother and son, Olivia investigates to clear his family's name while matching wits with a legendary thief.

With the clock ticking, Olivia must set a trap using herself as the bait or the killer may disappear without a trace. Her new love hangs in the balance, and her life is on the line. Justice will hinge on sixty minutes and a phone call.

Will the call be answered? Or will the thief recover the sapphire and silence her forever?

If you like Clue, Nancy Drew, and small town, cozy mysteries with heart and humor, a charming cast of characters, and a twisty plot, you'll love Under the Cocoon Moon, the third book in The Olivia Penn Mystery Series.
