Bestselling romantic author Tiffany Dare has thousands of fans worldwide. Closer to home, somebody wants her dead and is choosing to send her threats in Christmas cards. With the festive season fast approaching, local amateur sleuth Juno Browne is asked to investigate these season's greetings that carry anything but good cheer, and while the police focus their attention on stalkers and on-line trolls, Juno suspects the culprit may be a member of Tiffany's inner circle. With a jealous husband, spurned lovers and disgruntled employees, not to mention enraged neighbours, a bitter professional rival and a resentful teenage daughter, Ashburton's snowy landscape holds no shortage of suspects. Then a killer strikes, and all of Juno's hopes of a quiet celebration vanish. Will it be a Christmas she will want to forget?
