Jingle Bell Heist is the 20th book in the Savannah Secrets mystery fiction series.
It’s Christmastime in Savannah! But instead of enjoying the holiday season, Julia and Meredith find themselves pulled into another case. When their friend Tasha arrives on Julia’s doorstep in tears, she shares that a vintage set of handbells has gone missing from the Savannah Historical Museum—and fingers are pointing at Tasha, who was one of the curators in charge of the exhibit. This could cost Tasha her job, since the handbells are quite valuable and have a long history in Savannah. The stakes are raised when the family who donated the bells learns that they were stolen. Can Julia and Meredith find the bells in time for Christmas?
Meanwhile, Julia has taken on one too many Christmas projects and is feeling stretched thin. After a bout with the flu slows her down, can she relax enough to remember the true Reason for the Season?
Multi-published, award-winning, bestselling author Ruth Logan Herne is living her dream of being a published author and having the time of her life doing it. Born to a poor family in Rochester, NY, Ruthy draws on her early years and her many years of dealing with today's young families and businesses to create beautiful, heartfelt small-town stories of faith, hope and love... while adopting her favorite non-Scripture quotes "Plenty of time for rest in the grave" (Ben Franklin) and "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." (Eleanor Roosevelt) and one can always depend on Yoda "There is no try. There is do or do not." Succinct... and true. :) She loves chatting with readers on facebook at Ruth Logan Herne or follow Ruthy on Twitter, visit her website or stop by Seekerville (www.seekerville.blogspot.com) or pop by the Yankee Belle Cafe where Ruthy and several lovely authors share recipes, facts, photos and just plain old life!
