Christmas Corpse: a Festive Christmas Cozy Mystery Set in a Winter Wonderland Christmas Cozy Mystery Series Book

I always thought my name—Holly Wood—was the most ridiculous thing about my life. That is, until I nearly froze to death in a snowdrift and was rescued by a woman who insists she’s THE Mrs. Claus. Now I’m recuperating in her picture-perfect cottage in a town called Candy Cane Hollow, where Christmas seems to be a year-round affair. Just as I’m starting to think this strange holiday haven might be exactly what my lonely heart needs (especially with Mrs. Claus’s incredibly attractive son Nick around), disaster strikes. The prickly receptionist from the local doctor’s office has been poisoned by one of Mrs. Claus’s famous mince pies, and suddenly my kind-hearted rescuer is the number one suspect! With Mrs. Claus under house arrest by elf police officers (yes, actual elves), I find myself drawn into a web of small-town rivalries, Christmas competitions, and potential killers. Nick and I are determined to prove his mother’s innocence, but in a town where nothing is quite what it seems, can we find the real culprit before Christmas is ruined forever? After all, when you’ve found a place that feels like home—even if it’s run by Santa’s family—you don’t give that up without a fight.
