Set at Christmas on the Olde Wilmington by Candlelight tour, the mystery features Ashley Wilkes, a historic preservationist, and her sister Melanie, a realtor. (Mama was besotted with Gone With The Wind.) It's a dream come true for Ashley; her restored Victorian house is on the tour. But the dream turns nightmarish when a docent is murdered in the library, and history professor Binkie Higgins is the likely suspect.
