It's a December with Christmas coming soon.

What a time to snuggle up with a good read to chase off the chill and enjoy the holiday with this group of professional women as they solve a mystery spun by a serial killer who has a plan to make a large heist on Christmas day.

Author James Patterson wrote the first  book in this series, then collaborated with two other writers to follow his lead and write the next eighteen novels, including this title, “The 19th Christmas” (ISBN  978-0-316-49401-4).

So, you think you know Bluffton? Okay, where is this?

Admittedly, this is a seasonal item. On the other hand, lots of people walk by it every day. Our only hint: It is inside a building and the business name begins with the letter B.
