First sentence: As Victoria completed the thank you cards, day turned to night and the danger of the snow was approaching fast but so was the beauty that came with its arrival.
Description: An inheritance can be a blessing…or a curse. For Geneva Anderson, an aspiring 35-year-old African American poet, it is both. After her aunt, Victoria Franklin, the director of the International House of Chicago, is murdered, Geneva is stunned for a second time when she learns her aunt left an estate worth millions and Geneva is heir to $10 million. 

Because of her inheritance, a weak alibi, and an anonymous tip that leads to the discovery of the murder weapon in her room at I-House, the police arrest Geneva for the murder.

In order to clear herself, Geneva realizes she must find the real killer, but during the investigation, Geneva discovers more about her aunt than who murdered her.
