Merciful Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery (#8) by Shawn McGuire

Celebrate the season in Whispering Pines with snow, mistletoe, and murder.

Preparations for the Yuletide festival are in full swing, and so is the gossip about a blackmailing villager. Sheriff Jayne O’Shea doesn’t have time or patience for small-town rumors. After two long years overseas, her father is coming for a visit and everything has to be perfect. Then, just as things start falling into place, the blackmailer is found dead.

As if that wasn't enough, strange packages start showing up on doorsteps around the village, each containing a clue as to how the receiver will die.

Now, Jayne has to decide what’s more important. Focusing on a murder that’s already happened or trying to prevent six more.
