A COLD CHRISTMAS an enchanting cozy mystery (Kansas Cozy Mysteries Book 5)
By CHARLENE WEIR
Discover an utterly captivating Midwest murder mystery from a bestselling author — filled with quirky small-town suspects you won’t forget.
Single mom Caley James has three kids, a good-for-nothing ex and the flu. When her furnace dies — during the longest cold spell Hampstead has ever seen — she thinks Christmas can’t get worse. Until . . .
Her youngest finds a dead body in the basement.
Shifty-eyed repairman Tim Holiday was supposed to be fixing their furnace. Instead he’s the one who got burned — so badly his face is almost unrecognizable.
Police Chief Susan Wren is on the case. But she soon realizes Caley’s busybody neighbor knows more than they’re letting on.
Are they hiding a secret — or hiding a killer?
It’s up to Susan to solve the mystery before Christmas goes up in flames.
Fans of Kate Carlisle, Ellery Adams, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Eileen Brady, Cathy Pickens and Dorothy Cannell will be hooked from the very first page!

MEET THE DETECTIVE
A career cop from San Francisco, Susan Donovan never expected to fall in love. Especially not with a small-town police chief like Dan Wren. But when they meet at a conference, Susan knows he’s the one. After a whirlwind romance, they marry and move to Hampstead, Kansas, Dan’s tiny hometown. She thought she’d got her happy ever after. But that all changed one winter’s day, six weeks later — when Dan was gunned down by a sniper. What will her future in the Midwest hold without him?
