That couple ends up in a shocking situation when they find a skeleton sealed into the walls during their remodel. The body is identified as a woman who went missing twenty years ago.

   On my NOOK, I recently read “Happy Holidays’. When I got to the end there is a note about Judi having a surprise. When I clicked on the link nothing happened. It did not work. How do I find out what the surprise is? Thanks.
