Samantha True's Trouble Under the Tree

It's the deadliest time of the year...

Samantha's boyfriend, Leo, is back in town, and she's ready for some alone time with him over the holidays. Three things are preventing Sam from getting her yuletide wish:

1. There's a town hall proposition to kick Sam out of her apartment, citing her as a hazard to downtown.
2. Santa's body is discovered in one of the giant presents downtown, proving Santa made it onto someone's naughty list this year, not the other way around.
3. The murder at the Christmas market brings Wind River's most profitable annual event and the following parade to a screeching halt.

As much as Sam was really hoping to sit this case out, she's been deputized and forced on the job before she can say ho ho no. But, really, who would kill St. Nick? And that's not the only mystery giving Sam trouble. Parade floats are being vandalized, local Instagram cats have gone missing, and that fire bomb? That had nothing to do with her—no matter what the townspeople say.

Things snowball quickly, and soon the only thing Sam's sure of is that she'd better unwrap this case or she'll be getting something much worse than coal this Christmas.

Samantha True's Trouble Under the Tree by Kristi Rose is a thrilling holiday mystery that will keep readers engaged until the very end.
