Christmas Slaycation
(2023)An omnibus of novels by Gretchen Allen, Patti Benning, Maggie Benton, Donna Walo Clancy and Summer Prescott
Looking to get away for the holidays...without even leaving your couch? Cuddle up with these brand new, never released Holiday Cozy Mysteries from Summer Prescott Books!
Home With the Holidays – Summer Prescott
Nothing could have prepared reporter Christina Moss for what she found when she traveled to Nevada to meet her boyfriend’s parents and celebrate the holidays with them.
A red and green desert community that celebrates Christmas year ‘round sounds like a delightful place to be, but secrets abound in the seemingly cozy community. When one of those secrets leads to murder, Christina feels like she’s the only one capable of uncovering the truth.
Christina goes through the motions of the celebrations that are held despite the circumstances, while digging for what might just be the story of a lifetime…if she can bring herself to publish it.
Take Snow Chances - Patti Benning
Amateur sleuth, Nola Shepherd loves Christmas. This year, she, her family, and her boyfriend have rented a cabin for the holidays and are looking forward to a week of fun winter activities and relaxed, cozy evenings.
Their plans for happy holidays are shattered, however, when they discover that the owner of the resort has been murdered.
A winter storm is rolling in, and the police can’t get up the mountain road until it’s over…
Which also means that the roads are too dangerous for Nola and the gang to leave, leaving them stranded at a retreat where one of the other guests is a murderer.
Time and the weather are not on her side when Nola steps up to find the killer.
Can she freeze out the killer and solve the crime?
Down Under the Mistletoe - Gretchen Allen
When reporter, Cinder O’Fallen, is stood up by her supposed friends, and dumped by her boyfriend, she takes a job covering a story on opal mines in Australia.
The only catch is that she has to do it over the holidays.
Things look very promising when she tours the mines, and when a body is found, she’s all about getting the scoop…until the killer sets their sights on her.
Cinder will need more inspiration than a kiss under the mistletoe to crack the case. Can she tree the killer before the bells jingle?
Murder in the Cotswolds - Maggie Benton
Travel Agent, Ruth Duffy, isn't much of a risk taker. She creates perfect getaways for other people, but when life goes haywire, she faces a choice.
She can stay in her comfort zone and spend Christmas at home, alone, or take a chance on following her dreams.
She chooses to take the risk and finds adventure, romance, and murder.
A village in the English Cotswolds harbors some sinister secrets, some of which might just lead to murder. Ruth has no idea who to trust or how to find a killer, but she knows that she has to try.
Sleigh That Song – Donna Clancy
Talented DJ, Charlotte – aka Charlie - Zion, has planned a mini vacation to a nearby town for Christmas shopping with her brother and their roommate. But before the festivities can begin, she has one last gig for the season - an exclusive Christmas party.
The party is in full swing, and Charlie is rocking the music, when what looks like a tragic accident ruins everything.
Charlie doesn’t believe that it was an accident, and when she and her brother are implicated, it’s up to them to find the truth.
Can she solve the crime and save her company’s reputation?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
