Former New York darling turned amateur sleuth Madeline Vaughn-Alwin finds herself trapped in the beautiful hacienda of the Luhan family with a killer at Christmas! Newly engaged Maddie is hoping for a quiet Christmas filled with fun and festivity with her gorgeous husband-to-be Dr Cole, but the moment she bumps into old friend Katrina Wilton, Maddie's Christmas plans are thoroughly destroyed. Katrina is now married to the dashing, yet troubled veteran Alfonso Luhan, son of the infamous local landowner, Don Victor Luhan, and is celebrating Christmas at the family hacienda, Los Pineros - Katrina insists that Maddie and David simply must join them. However, Maddie and David quickly find that things in the Luhan family are far from merry . . . Don Victor casts a cruel and overbearing hand over his ailing wife Isabella and their four children - all with their own secrets and eccentricities. So when Maddie stumbles across Don Victor's brutally murdered body early one morning, snow turned crimson around the ghastly scene, she cannot believe she has once again been thrown into a murder mystery! As a snowstorm rages, and everyone is trapped inside the idyllic manor house, Maddie must act fast to solve a very tricky family affair and bring the murderer to justice before Christmas.

Sally and Sammy squirrel are the main characters in these rhyming books that teach children God's ways on topics that every young child faces in daily life. Sally and Sammy are friends who live in tree houses in the forest. They go to church together, are close play pals, and give a great glimpse into what God intends family life to look like. There comes a point in each story where the mom, dad, grandma, teacher, and others teach them what God says in His Word. It always goes right along with what Sally or Sammy happen to be facing. Sally and Sammy teach kids how to learn, follow, and grow in God's Word. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way they should go and when they're old they won't depart from it."
