Publisher's summary

Temp Jobs Can Be Murder!

Scarlett Chase is loving her latest temp job at a local children’s charity during the most magical time of the year. The office is bustling as workers help to provide Christmas gifts for needy children. The charity workers are also preparing for their big fundraising gala, which will raise the money needed to run all of their programs for the upcoming year.

Scarlett can’t think of anything better than bringing Christmas joy to children, but when one of her clients turns out to be the ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend, Austin Howard, the job becomes a bit awkward. Scarlett struggles to be supportive and understanding as Austin grows more and more concerned about his ex and the difficult family situation she is experiencing.

Things go from bad to worse when Santa Claus is found murdered in the middle of the fundraising gala, ruining the evening and threatening the survival of the charity.

The police hone in on Austin’s ex-girlfriend as their number one suspect, but Scarlett isn’t sure they’ve found the right culprit. Her feelings about the woman are complicated, and she is tempted to let the police handle this mystery. But pleas from Austin and her insatiable curiosity won’t let her sit idly by without poking around in search of some answers.

Christmas is coming, and Scarlett won’t rest until she has solved the crime and saved the charity.

Murder—unlike her job—isn’t temporary.

Crisis at the Christmas Party is the sixth book in the fun and clever Temp Jobs Cozy Mystery Series.

Scarlett saves Christmas!

In Crisis at the Christmas Party (#6 Temp Jobs Cozy Mystery) by KB Blake, Scarlett Chase is working at a children’s charity and planning a Christmas gala. She’s busy with the final decorations and gets embroiled with helping a client with a custody case. Things get so much more complicated when the client turns out to be Austin’s ex-girlfriend, and someone gets murdered! Scarlett uses her sleuthing skills, and engages her family to help find the killer and save the charity. I love how the characters continue to mature and develop to overcome their professional, physical and relationship issues. I think Scarlett’s strengths are not just interior design! The narration by Amber Battaglia is wonderful. She creates unique voices for the characters and brings them and the story to life.
