It’s Christmas and nestled in a valley between two towering mountain ranges in Colorado, the old mining town turned uber chic ski resort of Angelcroft, is in a battle for its soul. To grow regardless of how it changes the town? Or to take cautious steps forward keeping the charm and history of the town intact?
And now the battle has turned deadly.
Lifelong resident, Jenna Hart, is definitely not a sleuth, in fact she’s a custom jeweler, and this is her busiest season ever. But now she has only one goal, and that’s to find out who murdered her friend.
Enlisting the help of the Angelcroft PD Detective Derek Tripp, who naturally isn’t fond of her meddling, as well as her friends and even some oddball strangers, Jenna risks her own life to uncover a hidden legacy.
