A Stony Point Christmas
by K. D. McCrite
Annie Dawson has had many mysteries thrown at her since moving to Stony Point, Maine, and Grey Gables, the Victorian home she inherited from her grandmother, Elizabeth Holden. But nothing has matched this one.A mysterious benefactor is leaving generous gifts for various Stony Point residents, each one accompanied by a handwritten note saying, “Early Merry Christmas, from Stony Point’s Santa.” Annie would leave the philanthropist alone to do his or her good deeds, if it weren’t for the fact that more and more people from the small seaside village suspects that Annie, the transplant from Texas, is the secret Santa.If it’s not Annie, who is it? Could it be Alice MacFarlane, Annie’s best friend? Perhaps it is one of the members of the Hook and Needle Club, the handcrafting group Annie belongs to and who have helped her again and again solve the mysteries that fate tosses her way.Or maybe Ian Butler, Stony Point’s mayor who would also like to be Annie Dawson’s suitor, is merely trying to deflect attention from himself and toward Annie. Maybe it is Ian who is Stony Point’s Santa.All of the clues seemingly lead nowhere as Annie tries to prove she is not the source of the lavish gifts. And then a surprise gift is left within the walls of Grey Gables—a gift that will leave Annie speechless. Has the mystery Santa struck again? Or is Annie’s gift a true Christmas miracle of sorts?Join Annie and her friends as they tackle this latest mystery in A Stony Point Christmas.
