Heavenly, PA has been transformed into a Christmas wonderland, and Claire is delighted to celebrate the season…but a fiendish killer has other plans in this all-new installment in the national bestselling series.
As the owner of Heavenly Treasures, the local gift shop, Claire is busier than ever helping her English customers (and even a few of her Amish friends, like Esther and Ben) find the perfect gift for the special people on their shopping list.
Claire makes sure she has time for her boyfriend, Detective Jakob Fisher. But the man, who was raised and then shunned by the Amish over his choice of career, has been unusually secretive lately. She tries not to worry, to trust their relationship, but trying and doing aren't exactly matching up.
Before she can figure out what's going on with Jakob, word comes that Ruth and Samuel Yoder are being questioned in the death of an elderly Amish couple, found murdered not long after the newlyweds were seen leaving the victims' farm. Ruth, in turn, seeks Claire's help in convincing the police that she and Samuel had nothing to do with what happened. But when Claire comes across a cryptic note tucked inside the wedding gift the victims had given the newlyweds no more than an hour before their murder, she finds herself in dire need of a little convincing as well.
Can Claire get to the bottom of things in time to ensure a merry Christmas for all?
Christmas should be a time of joy, family time and ringing tills! certainly not murder and potential break ups.
Claire is worried, Jakob seems to be pulling away from her and taking calls that he is being really secretive about she hopes that it is just pressure of work for both of them, but the worry is still there. She is explaining this to her Aunt Diane when they are interrupted by the sight of Police lights headed into the Amish farmland and a phone call from the young Amish girl (Annie) who is Claire's assistant, apparently Annie and other of the young Amish people had gone to sing carols outside the home of an elderly Amish couple only to discover them dead! Initially they all think that they died together of natural causes … but this isn't the case. Now Claire and Jakob are butting heads over the case as his only suspects are Samuel and Ruth Yoder (nee Miller) the newly married couple.
Now Claire wants to figure out what is happening with Jakob, she needs to give her friend Ben a push in the right romantic direction, and help Ruth and Samuel prove their innocence and all before the Christmas season starts in earnest!
