Crime & Mystery

Wrapped in red has a bloody new meaning in this contemporary holiday romance with a murderous twist, perfect for readers who enjoyed The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year.

Christmasville, Maine, is the only place where Kelsey Hendricks has

ever felt happy. When she loses both her job and her boyfriend, the move

is a no-brainer, especially when she sees a listing for a position as

Christmasville's social media manager. Surrounded by twinkling lights

and candy canes and with the perfect job, this tinsel town is working

its magic on Kelsey. With two heartthrobs vying for her attention, her

life is now just like a Christmas movie.

Except for the murders.

The

first one is dismissed as an accident. But after the second, and

definitely the third, it becomes abundantly clear that Santa is leaving

coal in someone's stocking this year.

Determined to

bring back the holly jolly spirit to the town before tourists begin

canceling their reservations, Kelsey must sleuth her way out of a

chilling murder mystery and back to a holiday rom-com.

This

charming and clever mystery-romance where a cozy winter wonderland

warms the heart while suspense chills the bones is the perfect read for

the holiday season.
