The Snowy Plover Inn was a magical place filled with all the fondest memories of Maxine Egan’s childhood summers and holidays. For fifty years, operating the cozy inn was the joy of Mable and Kevin Evans’ lives, but now the place is looking a bit rundown and the older couple knows—it’s time to retire. Christmas arrives and no buyer has come along, especially not one who will be approved by the resident ghost and the neighbors in Silvermist Point.
Mable and Kevin wonder—is leaving the right thing to do? As for Maxine, struggling with recent widowhood, will she get the chance to stay at the beloved Snowy Plover Inn one last time before the place is left to fall into ruin? It could be that there’s a very special Christmas present coming to all their lives, and the resident ghost could mysteriously orchestrate the perfect holiday surprise for all of them.
Past and present come together in this delightful prequel to the Snowy Plover Inn cozy mystery series.
