Eerie Estes Mysteries #4
The Steepest Shock
Christmas in Estes Park should be merry and bright, but when the town’s annual tree lighting ceremony ends with a fatal shock, the celebration turns deadly. Ellie Read, bookshop owner and some time sleuth, can’t ignore the suspicious timing of the accident. Was it sabotage, or a carefully planned murder hiding in plain sight?
And while Ellie digs into tangled rivalries and hidden grudges, the windows of her bookshop begin frosting over with mysterious messages from a restless spirit. The ghost’s desperate attempts to reach the living may hold the key to more than just a tragedy from the past.
Cozy mystery, a dash of the paranormal, and a mountain town decked in holiday lights will keep you guessing right through the final twist.

I had plans to read this when it came out in December as I flew through the first 3 in this series, and ended up just reading it yesterday for a book game in one of my neverending book groups. I still love the series and will continue to read it! Next one is supposed to be out this month (January 2026) and I already have it on the calendar to snag it when it gets released. It feels good to have a series up to date and just waiting on the next one.
In this installment, or FMC is still living in Estes Park, Colorado, running the tea and book shop her grandmother left her. As it is a cozy mystery, another body turns up, this time a person unliked by most of town as it is the holidays and she has been brought in to cut costs for the city. It is the holidays in the town and the cost cutting is hurting the local businesses. There are several murder suspects and she and the attractive Sheriff don't always get along. Add in her personal mystery in her own shop with her ability to see ghosts, and this is non-stop action throughout the book.
