Gifts Of Goodwill

Description:

**Not all holiday traditions deserve to continue…** Every early December in Silver Springs, Vermont, anonymous holiday cards arrive like clockwork: glittering envelopes hiding careful and unkind messages. And Laura Evans discovers her boss, coworker, and friend among the targets. There’s never a season where that behavior is acceptable, but especially at this time of year. Together with her friend Jasmine, and landlady Evelyn, they enlist the Maplewood Crafters Club. Between serving peppermint hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies at the café, she traces writing styles, suspicious postal drops, and townspeople with a distaste for the season. Can Laura uncover enough clues in time to solve the mystery and save the season? *Sometimes the best gift you can give isn’t just the truth. It's what comes after it.*
