A Spirit of Murder Christmas

The Christmas spirit in Mannheim, Iowa, means friends and families, parties and Christmas Eve Mass, holiday decorations and murder, a raging blizzard, eternal love, and of course, a visit from a ghost. In the third Spirit Mystery novel, Sheriff Caddie Allemande and Deputy Matt Jager rush to investigate an overdose death before more die, the county erupts into gang warfare, and Matt loses the true meaning of Christmas. Luckily, Dawn is back to help with the case and remind her husband that their love will never die.

Nikki Moscow fought hard to get clean for herself and her daughters. Her life was on track with a new job, school, and a focus on her family. Until her lifeless body was found behind a cheap roadside motel. Frank Moscow, the closest thing Mannheim County has to a crime boss, is ready to track down whoever supplied the drugs that killed his daughter, even if that leads to an even more dangerous criminal organization. For real justice, though, Frank will have to trust Matt and Caddie to do the right thing. It won't be easy for any of them. Join Caddie, Matt, and Dawn in this mystery series with its compelling mix of cozy love story, police procedural, and exploration of grief and recovery. All with a cast that will make you want to return to this small town, despite all the murder and corruption.
