Lucy Resnick's nerves are as tight as a tea cozy. Her new goats, Hot Lips and Gidget, keep making a break for the town square, her truck is dying, and her boyfriend's gorgeous ex-wife is in town for the holidays. Worse, someone's digging holes on her land and uprooting her peach orchard and dewberry patch in the process. Lucy needs additional holiday stress like she needs a blow to the head, which she receives one night, courtesy of the mystery digger. When the dim-witted sheriff arrests one of Lucy's best friends, the former reporter puts her own problems on the back burner and starts investigating. What she finds is a patchwork of clues, an injured puppy, a sapphire necklace gone missing, and a string of poison-pen letters that draws her deep into a web of small-town secrets. Word travels fast in Buttercup. When the killer learns Lucy is on the trail, Lucy finds she needs more than her reporting skills to save her friend, she needs a Christmas miracle.

Mystery fiction.
