Publisher's summary

Clare's grown very fond of Alfred Glockner, the part-time comic and genuinely jolly charity Santa who's been using her coffeehouse as a place to warm his mittens. When she finds him gunned down in a nearby alley, a few subtle clues convince her that Alfred's death was something more than the tragic result of a random mugging, despite the conclusions of the police. With Clare's boyfriend, NYPD detective Mike Quinn, distracted by a cold case of his own, and ex-husband, Matt, "investigating" this year's holiday lingerie catalogs", Clare charges ahead solo and discovers this Santa had a list that he was checking twice - and the folks on it were not very nice. Then someone tries to ice Clare, and she really gets steamed.

Between baking delicious Christmas goodies and fending off the attentions of a persistent professional elf, Clare sets out to solve St. Nick's murder. But she'd better watch out, because if she fails to stop this stone-cold killer, she may just get the biggest chill of her life.

Great read

I enjoyed following Clair and the gang as she unraveled this mystery.
The way her mind works is like a cat searching out it's prey.

Narrator

I am enjoying this series very much. I really wanted to write this review to talk about the narrator. She is wonderful! Her ability to switch between the characters with different voices and accents is amazing. I will definitely look up her other works when I’m done with this.

Really enjoyable

I’m listening to the series in order and this was the best yet. We’ll rounded characters, interesting twists.

The cover art may give an impression of something more flighty than the well developed and continuing to grow series.
