For Violet Primrose, it should be a night of laughter with friends, dancing beneath twinkling lights, and soaking in the festive spirit of the season. But when the evening takes a chilling turn and a guest is found dead, the celebration quickly becomes a crime scene. With rumors swirling and secrets hiding behind clever costumes, Violet and her close-knit circle are once again drawn into a dangerous game of uncovering the truth. But as suspicions rise and relationships are tested, Violet soon realizes that solving a murder might not be the only challenge she faces.
