Synopsis

In the picturesque Southern coastal town of Sugarberry Shores, the holidays are a magical time. Twinkling lights line the boardwalk, carolers fill the air with song, and Sela Sand’s quaint sea glass studio is bustling with last-minute gift shoppers. But when mysterious poison pen letters disguised as vintage Christmas postcards begin showing up in mailboxes, the season’s cheer turns to suspicion.

The anonymous cards accuse beloved townsfolk of shocking past misdeeds—and when one lands in the hands of Sela’s elderly neighbor, the accusations hit too close to home. Determined to protect her friend and the close-knit community she loves, Sela—along with her shaggy Newfoundland sidekick, Grimmy—teams up with Sugarberry’s charming but no-nonsense new detective, Sawyer Darcy.

As Sela uncovers the tangled stories behind the postcards, she unearths long-buried secrets about the town’s past and faces threats from someone desperate to keep the truth hidden. Between dodging suspicious glances at the local Christmas market, navigating a growing attraction to Sawyer, and keeping Grimmy out of trouble, Sela has her hands full. Can she solve the mystery and save the holiday spirit before the poison pen strikes again?

Perfect for fans of heartwarming holiday tales, quirky characters, and cozy mysteries with a touch of romance, Postcards, Paws, & a Poison Pen is the ultimate sleuthing escape for the season!
