Holly Jolly Homicide

A warm, magical Christmas cosy mystery about a grand wedding venue with a body behind the panelling, a family closing ranks, and a bride six days from the aisle. A clean, festive whodunit where the seating chart is the least of anyone's worries.Bouquets, Boughs, and a Body at Olde Jolly HallSix days before my wedding to Nick, we take a sleigh to tour our grand venue, Olde Jolly Hall—only to find a secret passageway and a very real body. Beatrice Harper, the elusive owner everyone thought was “off finding herself,” is lying in the dark with her secrets.Chief Superintendent Wiggles takes charge while the Hall family close ranks. Charles Harper is all chill and locked doors, the caretaker knows more than he says, and the accounts ledger looks like it’s been trimmed as neatly as the wreaths. Between dress fittings, cake tastings, and keeping the gossip from reaching Claus Cottage, I start tugging at old threads: money gone missing, a family stain no one will speak about, and grudges tucked behind paneling.Mrs. Claus steadies me, Nick keeps pace at my side, and Gilbert the house-elf battles seating charts with the intensity of a general. I need the truth before aisle time, because I refuse to say “I do” with a killer lurking in the pews.Holly Jolly Homicide is the seventh book in the Candy Cane Hollow Christmas Cozy Mystery series.
