Description

A dead body in Santa's lap is not what Harvey Beckett wanted for Christmas.

The streets of St. Marin's are decorated for Christmas, and Harvey Beckett has decided that she'll host Santa Claus at her bookstore, reviving the town's long-standing tradition. But on the first day of the holiday season, a man stumbles into Santa's lap and dies, threatening the holiday spirit . . . and bringing a slew of questions that Harvey can't resist trying to answer.

Will Harvey's queries land her, her friends - and their dogs - in a load of trouble

Author Bio

ACF Bookens loves a good mystery, a quaint bookshop, and a good cup of coffee. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, where she takes joy in the mountain views and the quiet back roads. She lives with her son Milo and a beautiful rescue hound who inspired Mayhem in her St. Marin's Cozy Mystery Series. Aslan, the cat in her books, is based on her departed first cat by that name, who spent an inordinate amount of time digging up her houseplants. In her books, Bookens addresses issues of justice and writes with intention to disrupt the white supremacy that says that "whiteness" is normal by making purposeful note of every character's ethnicity. She is weary of books that assume everyone is white unless the author says otherwise because being white is not the default of reality. Her hope is that readers enjoy escaping into her stories and are challenged, just a little, to make themselves better people and the world a better place from the reading.
