Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings: A Funny & Festive Christmas Cozy Mystery - Liz Ireland

\nExceptional...perfect holiday entertainment. \n--Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW \n \nIt's the first Christmas in Santaland for April Claus--but it may also be her last unless she can uncover a villain with a killer Christmas wish. . . . \n \n Love is full of surprises--though few compare to realizing that you're marrying the real-life Santa. April Claus dearly loves her new husband, Nick, but adjusting to life in the North Pole is not all sugarplums and candy canes. Especially when a cantankerous elf named Giblet Hollyberry is killed--felled by a black widow spider in his stocking--shortly after publicly arguing with Nick. \n \n Christmastown is hardly a hotbed of crime, aside from mishaps caused by too much eggnog, but April disagrees with Constable Crinkle's verdict of accidental death. As April sets out to find the culprit, it'll mean putting the future of Christmas on the line--and hoping her own name isn't on a lethal naughty list . . . \nExceptional...the perfect holiday entertainment.-- Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW \n \n This Christmas season, travel to the North Pole you've never seen before--where Santa's new wife, April Claus, is not only set on creating the perfect holiday--she's also set on solving the perfect crime...
