What if Rose Hill's most vicious gossip had access to the deepest secrets of the town's most prominent citizens? Police Chief Scott Gordon offered Margie Estep a deal: if she quit her job at the post office and helped her invalid mother move into a nursing home, he would not arrest her for mail-tampering and embezzling. This deal may have saved her mother, but it left Margie desperate for money and revenge. After mailing several malicious letters, Margie has disappeared, and it's up to Scott to find out if one of her blackmail victims made that disappearance permanent. Maggie Fitzpatrick is also doing some investigating, despite Scott's disapproval. The list of suspects just grows longer as Margie's poison pen pals are revealed. When Scott follows a hunch that leads him closer to the killer, he also risks becoming the next victim. It's February in Rose Hill and love is in the air; unfortunately, so are heartache, blackmail, and murder.
