The only snow in Key West this Christmas is Hayley Snow, food critic for Key Zest magazine, who is not getting time off for the holiday…or time off from murder. It may be Christmastime, but thoughts of peace on earth, good will toward men, don’t seem to extend to the restaurant biz. Hayley has been assigned to interview Edel Waugh, chef/owner of Key West’s hottest new restaurant. But off the record, Edel reveals someone’s sabotaging her kitchen and asks Hayley to investigate. Things heat up fast when the restaurant is set on fire—and a body is discovered in the charred wreckage. Is someone out to destroy the chef’s business—or actually kill her? Amid holiday festivities like the lighted boat parade and visiting relatives who stir up mixed emotions, Hayley needs to smoke out an arsonist and a killer who may turn up the heat on her next… Recipes included!

Josie wishes he’d catch the next sleigh out of town, but instead, Nate is poisoned...and suddenly Josie is a person of interest. With Nate’s criminal past, he’d never make Santa’s “Nice” column, but his own list of enemies also includes plenty of “Naughties” who might want him dead.

Mystery shopper and mom Josie Marcus knows how to keep a low profile—in style. On her newest assignment, her former teacher—now working in a lingerie shop—is in need of some serious support. When Josie is assigned to mystery-shop a chain of lingerie stores, she’s surprised to find her former high school gym teacher, Mrs. Hayes, working as a manager and self-appointed “C-cup counselor.” But that’s nothing compared to the shock of finding another old high school acquaintance murdered in a restroom near the shop, her hands bound with the bra she’d just purchased. Mrs. Hayes quickly becomes the prime suspect. There’s a secret from her past she’s been reluctant to get off her chest that could be a motive for murder, and her alibi is flimsier than the camisoles she sells. But the victim had plenty of enemies, and it’s up to Josie to bust out her sleuthing skills and expose the real killer. “Breezy and humorous . . . Josie is a character readers will want to cheer on.”—Mystery News “Elaine Viets knows how to orchestrate a flawless mystery with just the right blend of humor, intrigue, and hot romance.”—Fresh Fiction
