Book Description
This collection contains five complete holiday themed cozy mysteries from USA Today Best-Selling author, Shéa MacLeod: Lady Rample and the Ghost of Christmas Past When Aunt Butty gets an idea in her head, there is simply no stopping her. At least, Lady Rample has never found a way. And what Aunt Butty wants is a proper, old-fashioned English country Christmas. So it's no surprise when Lady Rample finds herself celebrating the holidays deep in the Cotswolds. And naturally, Aunt Butty requires everything to be perfect, from the Yule log to the wassail. Unfortunately, the two women get more than they bargain for when a visitor from Lady Rample's past follows her from London, intent on wreaking havoc. Lady Rample and the Yultide Caper A peculiar Christmas party invitation leads our intrepid Lady Rample to Winter Haven and the Yule Manor Inn run by a secretive proprietress who may or may not be a witch, at least according to the locals. What's meant to be a festive event turns into a mystery with a missing host, disappearing Father Christmases, and a blackmailer who may or may not be dead. Fortunately, Lady Rample has several allies close at hand to help not only with the singing of carols and drinking of celebratory cocktails, but also to unravel the clues to this unusual mystery. A Christmas Caper (Sugar Martin Vintage Cozy Mysteries) With Christmas fast approaching and her bank accounts woefully low, Sugar Martin is spending her first holiday in Meres Reach, England instead of back home in Oregon. When the festivities are interrupted by an urgent call from her employer, she heads straight to London with Tippy in tow only to discover that her great-great-aunt Euphegenia has left her a final bequest—and a mysterious mission. Christmas is a time for magic and miracles and Sugar will need both if she's to succeed in her quest. The Poison in the Pudding (Viola Roberts Cozy Mysteries) With a book deadline and Christmas fast approaching, the last thing Viola Roberts has time for is a party. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what she gets roped into by the Mayor of Astoria. Party planning it is. Complete with Christmas puddings. Everything is humming along just fine when suddenly the guests begin to drop like flies! With both her reputation and her favorite Christmas cookies threatened, Viola has no time to waste. She’s got to find the poisoner before somebody ends up dead. Witchmas Spirits (Season of the Witch Paranormal Women's Fiction Cozy Mysteries) A bookstore of my very own and a Victorian house on the beach in the magical town of Miracle Bay means I get to finally relax and enjoy life—right? Wrong. After a Yule-tide tarot reading goes awry, my best friend Emerald is suddenly overwhelmed by a series of unfortunate events, each one more dangerous than the last. If Emerald and I don’t find the answer before Christmas and Yule arrive, the enchantment tangled around her is going to be the least of our problems. Join Juniper “JJ” Jones on her a magical escapade and fall in love with Miracle Bay. These are stand alone holiday stories which can be read in any order. You do not have to have read the rest of the series to enjoy these fun reads!

And after the husband of the deceased gets into a brawl on the front lawn of the town's most well-known landmark, she knows something's up.
