A Christmas cozy mystery full of charm, secrets, and a killer twist! Local journalist and amateur sleuth Violet Rhinehammer planned to cover the festive cheer at Holiday Junction’s cozy lodge, not get tangled in a chilling crime. But when a renowned artist is found dead and a stolen ornament design emerges as a key clue, the Merry Maker’s magic is overshadowed by lies, rivalries, and secrets buried deep in the snow. With a suspect list longer than Santa’s naughty list—featuring bitter competitors, secretive relatives, and meddling reporters—Violet dives headfirst into the mystery. Charming lawyer Darren Strickland offers his support and holiday distractions, but as Violet uncovers long-hidden secrets in the lodge’s mysterious tunnels, the stakes rise higher than ever. Can Violet untangle the twisted motives and catch the killer before the tree-lighting ceremony, or will this Christmas end in a deadly surprise?
