bells turn to death knells as spunky suburban housewife Susan Henshaw follows the trail of a killer on a yule-tide slay-ride. Decorations, food, a dash of murder, and a disappearing corpse combine in a foolproof recipe for a lively Christmas.

Deck the Halls with Murder by Valerie Wolzien - Building contractor Josie Pigeon and her all-woman construction crew have a big project to wrap up before the holidays--and they're hard at work when carpenter Caroline Albrecht keels over, fatally poisoned. Suddenly an icy wind of suspicion chills the cheer of this quiet island resort town, and Josie realizes that one of her employees must be Caroline's murderer. Is it Caroline's old friend Layne? Sandy, who scarcely knew her? Or good-time local girl Betty? It will take Josie's razor-sharp eye and smart sleuthing to single out the suspect and keep Christmas from turning into a real killer of a season.

A Little Yuletide Murder by Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain - After years of traveling during the Christmas season, amateur detective Jessica Fletcher is happy to be at home in Cabot Cove, Maine for the holidays. But when the local farmer who portrayed Santa Claus for the past 15 years is murdered, Jessica has a killer to catch. With an innocent man's future at stake, will she deliver the murderer in time for Christmas?

Dude on Arrival by J.S. Borthwick - English teacher Sarah Deane and her boyfriend, Dr. Alex McKenzie, leave snowy Maine to join Sarah's feisty Aunt Julia for Christmas at the exclusive Rancho del Gato Blanco resort in Arizona. But they soon realize there's no place like home for the holidays when ranch guests become the prey of a prankster whose destructive acts are tallying up like a Yuletide carol: Garden hose a-spraying...Lounge chair collapsing...Mud in the coffee...Golf carts a-stalling...Rubber snake in bathtub...Wagon wheels a-flying... The pranks take a murderous turn Christmas morning when one of the guests turns up dead among the gifts in Santa's sack. Sarah and Alex are certain the killer lurks among them. Could it be quirky clerk Cookie Logan? Aging film star Maria Cornish? Her hot-tempered beau Blue Feather Romero? Head wrangler Peter Doubler? Or someone in the entourage of U.S. Senator Leo J. Hopgood? The police even have eccentric Aunt Julia on their list of suspects--but if Sarah and Alex don't find the killer fast, they could all end up on the list of victims.
