A Sarah Booth Delaney mystery, 25

Sarah Booth is in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi for Christmas this year, as a judge for the annual library tree decorating contest. The other two judges are writers Sandra O'Day and Janet Malone. They're bestselling Mississippi authors, but bitter competitors. In fact, the feud between them is the stuff of legends. For years, they've brawled, their sales skyrocketing with each cat fight. Sandra's most recent true crime book documents the 1920s rum-running era of Al Capone. Janet's book, scheduled to be published in January, is a fictional account of the same material-which only heightens their bitter rivalry. When Sandra vanishes from her own gala, suspicion turns to Janet. Janet accuses Sandra of attempting to manipulate the media by a fake disappearance, but is it a stunt, or is something more sinister at play? Sarah Booth will have to dive deep into the history of Bay St. Louis, and even Al Capone himself, to get to the bottom of this case
