The rat race has begun! For many, the menorah is lit. Or the tree is decorated.
The lights are hung. The list is complete. (Until they add to it again.) The
shopping has started—on and off-line. The weather is cooperating. Sorta. And the
parties are out of control!
But all you want to do is relax. So here’s a few cozies to help you do just
that. Enjoy!
A Year-Round
Christmas Mystery #3
The town of Rudolph, New York, is gearing up to celebrate Christmas in July.
Merry Wilkinson, owner of Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, is looking forward to a busy
weekend starting with the arrival of Santa by boat to begin his summer vacation
at the lake. But Merry is caught off guard when her ex-fiancé, Max Folger,
unexpectedly arrives with a team from a lifestyle magazine wanting to do a
feature on the July festivities.
It’s clear that Max’s visit has less to do with business and more to do with
winning back Merry’s heart. Between the magazine feature and the Christmas
events, Merry has too much on her plate to deal with an old flame. But when Max
is found strangled to death in Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, it’s up to Merry to find
out who wanted him dead and stop a killer from ruining the summer holiday cheer.

Liss MacCrimmon
#11
The old Chadwick mansion on the edge of Moosetookalook, Maine, has been
shrouded in mystery for generations—until Scottish Emporium owner Liss
MacCrimmon uncovers a forgotten family secret. But she never imagined that a
little curiosity would lead her into such deadly territory…
While perusing auction items from the Chadwick estate, Liss purchases a
painting of a bagpiper to add to her collection. Her interest shifts from art to
sleuthing upon a strange discovery—what appears to be a treasure map tucked
behind the canvas. She’s even more intrigued when she links the scroll to an
early Chadwick who smuggled goods across the Canadian border.
So during a business trip to Canada, Liss arranges a meeting with an
archivist in hopes of pinning down the truth about the map and the Chadwick
bloodline. Before her quest moves forward, however, she finds the archivist’s
murdered body at a local genealogical society. One thing is certain—Liss isn’t
alone on this treasure hunt…
Liss returns to Moosetookalook, terrified that the killer may have followed
her home. With her life in real peril and the map at risk of being stolen, she
launches into full-scale investigation mode. But as she deciphers clues and
inches toward the dangerous culprit, Liss quickly realizes she’s only a step
away from ending up like the Chadwick clan—permanently wiped out.
