Mischief and Mistletoe

Who stole the wise man?

Christmas Eve in Bluejay Ridge is the highlight of the season ... but this year, the nativity scene at the community chapel has turned into a holiday whodunit. One by one, cherished figurines have vanished. 

Enter Betty Benino—fifty-something widow, retired screenwriter, and fiercely loving grandmother. With her two grandchildren as "junior detectives," Betty is determined to protect the town's traditions and Christmas spirit. 

Warm, funny, and brimming with family and community, Mischief and Mistletoe is a heart-tugging cozy Christmas caper, perfect for fans of small-town charm and holiday cheer. 

The Betty Benino Mysteries can each be enjoyed as a standalone, but the full Betty story unfolds across the series.
