Holly Homicide

Book 11 in the Holiday Cozy Mystery

Welcome to Holiday Junction—where the tinsel sparkles, the cocoa flows, and Christmas cheer is served with a side of murder.

Violet Rhinehammer, journalist and Holiday Junction’s resident sleuth, thought she was covering this year’s festive happenings at the town’s beloved lodge. But when local artist is found dead, her cozy holiday plans melt away faster than snow on a warm sidewalk. With suspicious notes, family secrets, and a stolen ornament design at the heart of the mystery, everyone seems to have a motive.

With her trusty notebook in hand and the charming lawyer Darren Strickland by her side—whether he’s helping or distracting her, she’s still not sure.

Violet dives headfirst into the investigation. As they sift through suspects, dodge Southern Charm reporters, and uncover secrets hidden beneath the lodge’s tunnels, the snow-covered streets of Holiday Junction start to feel a little less jolly… and a whole lot more dangerous.

Can Violet solve the case in time to enjoy the tree lighting and her first romantic Christmas date? Or will the killer deliver one final, deadly holiday surprise?

Holly Homicide is a festive cozy mystery filled with holiday charm, mischievous twists, and just the right amount of romance to warm your heart. Perfect for readers who love small-town settings, quirky characters, and sleuths with a nose for trouble. Curl up with a cup of cocoa, turn on the twinkle lights, and settle in for a holiday mystery you won’t forget.

Will the Merry Maker’s magic solve the crime… or will this Christmas be Violet’s last?
