Festive Felony in Kingfisher Falls

Christmas is just around the corner and Charlotte has every intention of making it the best one ever for the residents and shop owners of Kingfisher Falls.



After the success last year of the bookshop's "Giving Box", she's roped eleven other traders into joining her "Giving Tree" project. But the new mayor wants the project to fail and he is quick to blame a recently returned, down-on-their-luck local when some of the gift cards go missing.



Meanwhile, Trev has a new constable to train and can't seem to find the right moment to propose to the woman he loves.



As the thefts begin to devastate the town and shoppers avoid Kingfisher Falls at the busiest time of year, Charlotte faces a big decision when news about her past casts doubt on her future.



With days before Christmas, can Charlotte solve the mystery of the missing cards and exonerate the accused local, or will the person behind all the crime in town finally take their revenge?



Book Five of The Charlotte Dean Mysteries was originally titled The Giving Tree.
