Advent Alibi: A Christmas Small-Town Cozy Mystery
Snow makes Candlewick Cove look innocent.
That’s the trick.
I run Hart House Holiday Curios, where people buy wreaths, ribbon, and the kind of perfect little traditions that make them feel safe again. Then a woman walks into my shop and asks for something she can’t say out a “keep him faithful” charm.
The next day, her husband is dead.
The town doesn’t want a mystery. It wants a story it can swallow in one bite. Jealous wife. Bad marriage. Case closed. And because I’m the only one who knows what she asked me for, I’m suddenly a witness… and a convenient target.
Someone is already nudging the narrative. Someone is already planting evidence that points back to my shop. And someone is using Candlewick Cove’s holiday rituals the way a liar uses a to hide what they’re doing.
Now I have to find the truth before the town decides I’m the problem it needs to get rid of.
Advent Alibi is the first book in Candlewick Cove Secrets: a Christmas cozy mystery packed with small-town gossip, wintry charm, a stubborn amateur sleuth, and a murder that won’t stay neatly wrapped.
