Mince Pies, Mistletoe, and a Murder Most Festive
I used to think the most ridiculous thing about my life was my name--Holly Wood.
That was before I nearly froze in a snowdrift and was rescued by the real Mrs. Claus. Now I'm recuperating in her storybook cottage in Candy Cane Hollow, where the fairy lights never switch off and Christmas lasts all year.
Just when my lonely heart starts to think this might be home (helped by Mrs. Claus's distractingly handsome son, Nick), disaster strikes. The frostiest receptionist in town eats one of Mrs. Claus's famous mince pies and collapses. Suddenly my kind-hearted rescuer is suspect number one.
With elf police posted at the door and Gilbert, the over-helpful house-elf, underfoot, Nick and I dive into small-town rivalries, festive competitions, and very human motives. We need the truth on the table before Christmas dinner... and before they haul Mrs. Claus away.
Christmas Corpse is the first book in the Candy Cane Hollow Christmas Cozy Mystery series. A warm, magical, and clean holiday whodunit for fans of Hallmark-style cozies and anyone who wishes they could spend Christmas in Santa's own hometown.
