The Twelve Slays of Christmas: The Worst Noel
This was my contribution to a 12-book set of Christmas-themed cozy mysteries called The 12 Slays of Christmas.
The boxed set hit #6 on The Wall Street Journal bestseller list and all proceeds were donated to animal shelters.
The Worst Noel was the first book in my new Juniper Junction Mystery series and I plan to make it available again in the fall of 2018.
From main character Lilly Carlsen:
“You know it’s going to be a long day when you come to work on the busiest shopping day of the year to find a dead body on the floor. Juniper Junction, Colorado, is not some gun-slinging Wild West outpost; it’s a tony resort town where people come to get away from it all. And as the President of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s my job to make sure that happens. But add two teenagers, a failing parent, and a deadbeat ex-husband to the mix, and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas chaos.”
