The Secret Packages

A Serenity Springs Mystery Series, Book 5

Mass panic, hysteria, ominous gifts, and a string of robberies.
Serenity Springs will never be the same…

PI Bridget Hartley has had her life turned upside down.
While investigating a string of robberies.
She finds herself tied to a case that has her feeling as though she’s being hunted down.

While trying to catch the robbers, strange packages begin to arrive on Birdie’s doorstep.
With every “gift” more ominous than the last,
It seems that there’s someone targeting her and the women closest to her.

With the small community doing its best to come together for the holidays,
And danger and chaos brewing in the midst,
It seems the price of these secret packages comes with bloodlust intent.

Manipulations, great deception, thievery, and every twisted thing in between.
Penance has come, and Birdie will do everything to bring the wicked to judgement.

The bad language

Enjoyed the story but did not care for the language of cussing frequently. I don’t feel it needs to be used to make an emphasis on situation spoils it for me.
