Killers can leave scars no one else sees.
Top detective Jenna Ferrari winds up with too much on her plate as Christmas approaches when she becomes entangled in three cases. Allowing her emotions to run amuck, she concludes there’s no use trying to pursue a new relationship with Randi.
Randi senses something is very wrong with Jenna and refuses to give up on them, but she consents to engaging in an experiment to date someone else.
Crimes overlap while Jenna struggles with feelings of guilt, remorse, and inadequacy. Can she accept the fact that even a strong woman needs help, or will her world shatter from the inside out?
Follow Lieutenant Ferrari as she tracks down multiple suspects while juggling a budding relationship in Book Two of the Lessons in Murder series. Maybe she’ll end up with a Christmas miracle of her own, affirming hers can also be a Wonderful Life.
