Candy Cane Killer : A festive Christmas cozy mystery set in a winter wonderland - Mona Marple

Carols, Cameras, and a Christmas Eve Kidnap PlotI'm knee-deep in place cards and cake tastings, trying to plan a wedding without losing my mind, when Candy Cane Hollow gets its biggest visitor yet. Pop sensation Angel Albright is arriving on Christmas Eve, trailed by minders, a prickly family, and a stack of kidnap threats. Chief Superintendent Wiggles asks me to help keep things calm while the elf police tighten security. Cameras crowd Main Street, gossip flies faster than reindeer, and one persistent journalist won't stop sniffing around. Then, in the crush of lights and lenses, something goes horribly wrong and a member of Angel's entourage doesn't make it to morning. With Nick at my side, and Gilbert, the house-elf, "helping" in ways only he can, I start sorting star-gloss from truth: old grudges, new contracts, and a fame machine that runs hotter than cocoa on a snow day. I need answers before the threats become headlines and before Christmas in Candy Cane Hollow turns from glitter to danger. Candy Cane Killer is the fifth 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. _____________________________________________Praise for the Candy Cane Hollow Christmas Cozy Mystery series:5 out of 5 stars "This Christmas cozy mystery series is by far the best I've ever read!"5 out of 5 stars "Great characters and story lines.
