A Hole in the Plot: A Mackenzie Quinn Short Mystery

A half-baked crime...

Zee loves the holidays. But it hardly feels like Christmas in the small town of Ashwood with no snow on the ground.

Good thing she has some freshly-made maple donuts to look forward to—at least until things take a turn for the worse, along with the weather.

With more than her own freedom on the line, can Zee play sleuthing Santa and save the day with her usual ally Detective Sharp out of town?

Enjoy a holiday-themed adventure with Zee (only her mother calls her 'Mackenzie') in this stand-alone short novel from the Mackenzie Quinn Canadian cozy mystery series by the author of the Kira Brightwell mysteries, Jacquelyn Smith.

(A mystery adventure more than a typical whodunit, this story takes place before the first novel in the Mackenzie Quinn series, The Author of His Demise.)
