Christmas Bells (Cottage on Gooseberry Bay #20)

The bells are back—and so is the mystery.

With Christmas just around the corner, Ainsley and the rest of the Gooseberry Bay crew are embracing the holiday season by volunteering at the local tree lot. But during a snowy late-night shift, a strange and unexpected sound cuts through the winter air—church bells, long silent, ringing out across the bay.

The haunting chime sparks a chilling memory for Jemma and the tragic story of a pastor’s daughter who disappeared on Christmas Eve a decade ago. Her only trace—a jacket left behind in the belltower—left the town shaken. The bells fell silent that night… and hadn’t rung since.

Now, ten years later, with a new pastor at the helm and the bells ringing once more, something has been set in motion pulling Ainsley and the gang into a chilling mystery rooted in the past and echoing through the holiday season.
