Hark! The Herald Angel Screamed

It’s Christmastime in Stone’s Throw, S.C., but amid all the caroling, cookies and cheer, a murderer casts a not-so-jolly pall on the holiday season. Did a grieving family ghost push an itinerant stranger from the balcony at Willowbrook, the family’s deserted estate?

Augusta Goodnight dispenses her no-nonsense advice along with the Yuletide wassail when she comes to the aid of Lucy Nan Pilgrim and the Thursday Morning Literary Society (which now meets on Monday afternoons).
