A Valentine's Day Murder In A Small Village
Valentine's Day in Holiday Junction means pink lights, chocolate hearts, and the annual Sweetheart Ball. This year, it also means murder.
When influential town benefactor Lily Fairmont is found dead during final preparations for the Valentine celebration, the festive seaside community is thrown into suspicion. What should have been a holiday of romance quickly becomes a closed-circle investigation.
Journalist and amateur sleuth Violet Rhinehammer is covering the holiday events when she begins uncovering a pattern of resentment tied to grants, social influence, and private rivalries. In a town where reputation matters and gossip spreads fast, more than one suspect had reason to see Lily removed from the spotlight.
As the Sweetheart Ball approaches, Violet navigates small-town politics, layered motives, and secrets buried beneath Valentine decorations. With tensions rising and the community watching, she must uncover the truth before holiday celebration turns into lasting scandal.
This Valentine's Day cozy mystery delivers:
A holiday-themed small-town murder
A journalist amateur sleuth
Festival setting with layered suspects
Southern charm and seaside community
Clean mystery with no graphic content
Perfect for readers who love holiday cozy mysteries, small-town whodunits, and seasonal murder mysteries set in charming Southern towns.
