Publisher Description
Welcome to Marshmallow Hollow, Maine, a holiday mystery, where it's all Christmas all the time and murder is hung by the chimney with care...
I'm Halliday Valentine (yep; funny name is funny), a psychic witch who's recently moved from New York City back to my very human hometown of Marshmallow Hollow, where I run the family factory that caters to all things Christmas. I inherited the factory from Mom, who inherited from Nana Karen, but now it's just me (kinda...long story), my curmudgeonly British familiar hummingbird, Atticus; one ungrateful rescue cat; my talking reindeer, Karen; and my BFF Stiles (the only human aware of my witchy side).
Oh, and Digby Dainty (known as Hobbs), the tall drink of water who rents my guest cottage. And who I wouldn't mind getting to know better. We have a lot in common, including a love of true crime. So as macabre as it sounds, when a shady real estate tycoon shows up dead in the middle of the annual ice festival, I'm thrilled to spend time with Hobbs, flexing our amateur sleuthing skills.
Well...not thrilled. I mean, a guy's dead after all. But he did try to con some businesses right out from under the hard-working locals. In fact, the only thing more surprising than a murder in our charming Christmas town is how many of my friendly, beloved neighbors seemed to want the man dead...

Jingle All the Slay
What could be better than magic, romance, mystery and dogs? Love this story!
Holiday Mystery
For the first in a new series, I like it! You have unusual names for the characters but it seems to fit them. You have friends who for see themselves as detectives and who do they pick Cagney and Lacey. Two old time tv detectives with unusual character.
So the mystery is the murder of a not so nice man and then you have the romance and let’s not forget the magic. The familiar is a hummingbird and the nana is a reincarnation of a reindeer. With that the story will keep you interested and move along quite well to the end where the detectives are recovering from accidents in solving the case. Enjoy and try not to laugh too much!
