Mistletoe & Malice: A Noelle Evergreen Christmas Market Mystery
Not yet published
Expected 27 Nov 26Snow falls. Carols ring. And in the Father Christmas Workshop, a craftsman lies dead.
Noelle Evergreen runs Pinecrest's most charming shop — a treasure trove of antique ornaments, snow globes, and forgotten Christmas magic. She knows the value of history.
She also knows when something doesn't add up.
On the morning of Christmas Eve, Arthur Bellweather — the beloved woodcarver who has played Father Christmas for forty years — is found slumped at his workbench. The door is bolted from the inside. The stove has gone cold. And shattered on the floor beside him lies a broken snow globe.
Inside the globe? A sealed document Arthur intended to reveal at that night's ceremony — a truth buried since the market's founding four decades ago.
As Pinecrest prepares for carols and candlelight, Noelle begins to notice things others
• A forged shipment of imported ornaments
• A dispute over market finances
• A daughter with unfinished business
• A collector watching the wrong snow globe
Arthur was about to speak.
Someone made sure he never would.
Now, before the Christmas lights dim for good, Noelle must uncover what was hidden inside that globe — and why a secret worth forty years of silence became worth killing for.
Perfect for fans of atmospheric holiday mysteries, locked-room puzzles, and intelligent small-town sleuths.
Because in Pinecrest, even the most beautiful traditions cast long shadows.
