The holiday season has arrived in Whisper Creek. Cleopatra is working hard on her recovery after a near fatal car accident three months before, and the Madeleine Hotel is doing well under the new management the family has hired. Theodora is excited about her first Christmas back at home, and she and her secretary, Ashley, have opened her new law firm. While certainly not perfect, life seems to be trying to find some sort of equilibrium for the Murphy family.

 

At least that’s how it seems until Ashley’s friend, Mina, is found murdered in one of the cabins that sits nestled on the shores of Darby Lake. When Ashley starts receiving threatening messages from someone who claims to be the last person to see Mina alive, she recruits Theodora to help her track down her friend’s killer. With any luck, they’ll find him before he decides to kill again.
