⭐ How much can go wrong in a single Monday? PI-in-training Mira James is about to find out. ⭐

Big city gal Mira James is finally settling into itty bitty Battle Lake. Sure, there's that pesky dead-body-a-month hitch, and her hunky musician boyfriend has begun receiving mysterious late-night texts. The fact that her problematic ex seems to be tailing her doesn't help, either.

But Mira is determined to ignore all that for one day so she can focus on the December wedding of two dear friends. She's succeeding, too, until Kennie Rogers, Battle Lake mayor and frenemy extraordinaire, is kidnapped right in front of her eyes by a murderous Santa Claus.

Ho-ho-ho-oh-no! Can Mira save Kennie (and her relationship) before the slay bells ring...for good? Find out in this 124-page Murder by Month romcom novella featuring all your Battle Lake favorites.
