Beating the Wrap

Bonnie Balfour adores the changing seasons, fabulous fall activities and holiday hoopla, but will a corpse on the porch squash her holiday plans? Thanksgiving is right around the corner in historic Bliss, Georgia, and Bonnie is trimming display tables at Bless Her Heart, especially for the occasion. A Gift of Gratitude display, beside the front door of her second chance dress shop, encourages shoppers to leave messages of good tidings for neighbors and friends. Unfortunately, someone has left a cornucopia of complaints instead. And they're all about Bonnie! When the scrooge turns out to be a neighbor, fed up with Clyde's habitual petty theft and trespassing, Bonnie's claws come out in defense of her kitty. The heated exchange leaves a bad taste in Bonnie's mouth, but the man turns up dead before she can dish out a proper apology. Determined to see justice served, Bonnie and Clyde dig into the case with gusto, only to land in hot water with the handsome Sheriff Wright. A series of anonymous attacks soon have the town wondering if Bonnie can find the killer before it's time to cut the turkey. Or if she'll be the next one on his carving board.
