Claus For Alarm

2019

When a town has dark news… It takes a special person to help them through it. Charlotte Claus, not to be confused with the ever-popular Mrs. Claus, volunteers to house-sit for a friend of the family while he is out of the country on business. She arrives in Partridge Point on her own, as this time of year is a very big one for her husband, Kris, not to be confused with the even-more-popular, Santa Claus. Things heat up fast, when Charlotte finds herself in charge of the town’s prestigious cookie exchange. Baking one’s way into oblivion, while keeping track of all of the other cookie participants would set anyone in their right mind on edge. Anyone but Charlotte, that is. With the patience of a saint, she brings the Claus-doubting town of Partridge Point jingling its way right onto the nice list. Except, unfortunately, for her neighbor, Hannah, the mayor of Partridge Point, who is accused of murder. Refusing to let the sweet woman end up in jail, Charlotte promises to rein in the crowds of people that are positive that Hannah is a criminal. Partridge Point will never be the same, after Charlotte brings the joy and spirit of the season back to everyone’s hearts, even in the midst of the town’s largest scandal, and a murder that threatens to ruin the Christmas magic that she’s worked so hard to spread. Can Charlotte save the day and solve the crime of the season before the cookies burn, and goodwill goes up in smoke?

Claus and Effect

2020

Charlotte Claus is a sweet soul, who is known for spreading Christmas cheer wherever she goes. When the town of Partridge Point is so inspired by her that they line the main street with such an overabundance of decorations that it busts the budget, Charlotte is flabbergasted and steps in to help. The consummate do-gooder finds a local tree farm that agrees to host a pop up event in Partridge Point. They harvest the trees and bring them to an open lot for the locals, who are typically very bah humbug when it comes to the holidays. When a tragic injury occurs at the lot, secrets unfold and suspicions are cast upon everyone who stopped by that day. Are the ties that bind the people of Partridge Point strong enough to withstand a murder investigation? Or, are the mysterious folks going to come between them and the spirit of the season? Partridge Point is dealt a terrible blow when murder comes to town. Will sweet Charlotte be able to spread Christmas cheer that will stand strong and overcome the gloom caused by tragedy? Find out in this heartwarming Cozy Mystery, that will take you back to sweeter times and fill your heart with the joy of the season, no matter what the time of year.
