The situation escalates as Violet's friend, Lacey Dupont, becomes the prime suspect in the murder after a heated confrontation with Belinda. Determined to prove Lacey's innocence, Violet turns to the magical elements of her bookshop for guidance, which leads her to the connections between Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" and the tangled relationships of the four Perkins sisters. She must unravel the mystery before her own heart turns as cold as the icy surroundings.
