Christmas Cozy Mystery

Welcome to Candy Cane Hollow, where every day feels like Christmas! It's New Year's Eve in Candy Cane Hollow. This winter wonderland may look festive and be home to the Claus Family, but all is not as it seems. The festivities take a turn for the bizarre when the giant glitter ball comes crashing down on cantankerous elf chef, Greasy. Chief Superintendent Wiggles is sure the death is just a tragic accident, but Holly isn't so sure. Greasy was lots of things, but it appears that popular wasn't one of them. Holly begins her own investigation with the eager help of Mrs. Claus, while dimpled Nick Claus warns them both to be careful. Was the death an accident? Or is that a false ho-ho-hope?

As Christmas approaches in Candy Cane Hollow, it's time for the annual Claus Family ice fishing trip. Holly Wood (yes, that's her real name) is a ball of nerves about meeting all of Nick Claus' relatives, until the trip ends in disaster. One Claus doesn't return home, and as everyone begins to fear the worst, an old grudge between the Lost Claus and Nick makes his actions look suspicious. Can Holly get to the truth, before anyone else is hurt?

When a local millionaire eccentric dies, the whole of Candy Cane Hollow are crying into their mince pies. But when the Will is read, it turns out that the whole estate has been left not to the man's family, but to an elf who claims she didn't know him at all. With that shock discovery, it's time to see how money really does change people . . . and not everyone will survive the fall out. Holly finds herself caught up in another murder, but she already has enough on her plate. Her sister is visiting her new, festive home for the first time, and together they will sort the final plans for the Winter Ball. Oh, and is she imagining things, or is her dimpled dish of a boyfriend acting suspiciously?

Welcome to Candy Cane Hollow, where every day feels like Christmas! Holly Wood (yes, that's her real name) is driving home for Christmas and not feeling too happy about the empty house waiting for her. When her car skids into a snow bank, she's rescued by a sweet old lady who promises her name is Mrs. Claus. Holly is taken to Candy Cane Hollow to recover, and finds herself in a genuine winter wonderland. As Christmas Day approaches, the grouchy medical receptionist appears to have been poisoned by a mince pie. And to Holly's surprise, Mrs. Claus is the prime suspect. With Mrs. Claus under suspicion, Holly vows to return the woman's generosity by clearing her name. Maybe it will impress Mrs. Claus' dimpled dish of a son, too?
