Addie Greyborne is preparing for the holidays at her bookstore in seaside New England - but a winter storm is coming, in more ways than one....

Addie's getting into the spirit for the upcoming Charity Auction - especially since she's got an 1843 copy of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to donate. Her former colleagues at the Boston Public Library have confirmed that its worth runs toward the high five figures, which should help with the new pediatric wing. Her mood darkens, though, when a visitor from the past appears - Jonathan Hemingway, the father of her late fiance. His presence stirs up sad memories for Addie, but also has her fuming when Jonathan, true to his womanizing ways, runs off for a lunchtime liaison with Teresa Lang, who's in charge of the auction.

Soon after, Addie heads to Teresa's office at the hospital - and finds the poor woman's dead body. What she doesn't find is her valuable first edition. What sort of Scrooge would steal from sick children and commit murder in the process? As a Nor'easter bears down and a mystery emerges about Jonathan's past, Addie must find out if she can appraise people's motives and characters as well as she can appraise rare books....

This author needs a better way to describe people touching their hair and faces. I am so tired of hearing the description of Mark, Simon and Addie “scrubbing their hands through their hair over their faces or through their hair”. It takes me out of the story. Do these people have Brillo pads for hands?!

The writer does a good job of holding my attention. I realize that the writer is showing a.person does not heal overnight from the types of losses that the main character has suffered. But I really hope she decides soon.

Truly enjoyable

I think she needs to make a decision about her man. Simon is possessive and annoying. The rest of the story is great. She writes great mysteries.

She needs to choose Mark!

The series is OK, good listen that is not too complex and very familiar. Exposition is often repeated and unnecessary. The lovers triangle is getting old. listen at 1.5X speed

Great Narration- Meh Story
