But there will be no turning back.Not long after they've set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing.

Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings
By Ireland, Liz
Love is full of surprises - though few compare to realizing that you're marrying the real-life Santa.

Especially when a cantankerous elf named Giblet Hollyberry is killed - felled by a black widow spider in his stocking - shortly after publicly arguing with Nick. Christmastown is hardly a hotbed of crime, aside from mishaps caused by too much eggnog, but April disagrees with Constable Crinkle's verdict of accidental death. As April sets out to find the culprit, it'll mean putting the future of Christmas on the line - and hoping her own name isn't on a lethal naughty list . . .
