Secrets and Lies Whisper Through the Walls of The Holly House? A blizzard has sealed the roads.The guests at Holly House Bed & Breakfast are snowed in—along with a killer. When Thelma Rue and her lifelong friends Pearl, Myra, and Birdie book a Christmas getaway near Tanglebush, North Carolina mountains, they expect crackling fires and cocoa—not a corpse discovered by the woodpile, frozen solid beneath a sky full of falling snow. Before the sheriff can arrive, another guest is dead. Then a man vanishes. While inside the house, the walls creak and sigh as if they’re alive. Pipes knock in patterns too deliberate to be random. Whispers travel through the vents. Thelma can’t tell if it’s grief, madness, or something far worse—but she’s certain of one thing: the killers aren’t outside. The Killers already in the house. With the storm closing in and The Holly House turning colder by the hour, Thelma Rue will have to unravel the secrets and lies buried beneath its Christmas cheer before silence claims them all. A Southern holiday mystery filled with humor, heart, and bone-deep chills—perfect for fans of The Guest List, Knives Out, and Only Murders in the Building.
