When your cheating husband drops dead in your cozy Christmas cat café, the proper response is not to shout, “I didn’t do it!” Showing up at his funeral with a plate of sympathy cupcakes after he’s just been poisoned by your signature Santa’s Surprise confection is…also not the correct response.

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.

For all its merriment, Christmas can also bring melancholy-and in Magic Springs, Idaho, Mia finds that the season has brought her an unhappy ghost who's pulling poltergeist-style pranks to get her attention. When she demands an explanation, the ghost just sends a message: Ask Mary Alice-that is, Mia's beloved Grans, who's been training her to develop her witchy talents. If anyone can figure this out, it's Grans . . . even if she still hasn't managed to free Mia's cat from a previous spell that she cast.
