Publisher's summary

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....

A Christmas Carol

Addie donates a first edition copy of Dickens Christmas Carol for a charity auction for a new hospital wing. When the head of the hospital foundation is killed and the book disappears she’s pulled into the most dangerous game in her life. Love, jealousy, greed and forgiveness bring the holidays to a head. Time to face the ghosts of Christmas past. An exciting listen.

Truly enjoyable

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.

She needs to choose Mark!

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.

Addie is not so wise…

I want to like her. Unfortunately she is so immature and naive that I struggle with her decisions. I love her strong sense of right but she can’t figure out who she wants to be with. Bizarre. I’m glad I didn’t pay for the first three novels. I will not be paying for this series.
