About The Book:

'Tis the season . . . for M**der.
"The festive, quirky love child of a holiday whodunit and a steamy romance.” —Sara Raasch
When Special Agents Holly Frost and Mark Shepherd report to the idyllic town of Christmas to investigate a very less than idyllic M**der, they’re in for more than the average whodunnit.
Welcome to Christmas, a town so cozy and charming it could be the backdrop of a Hallmark movie, where crime is never in season and it’s the holidays all year round. So when a tourist is found stabbed to death by an icicle ornament in the middle of the town nativity scene, the local police are out of their depth—after all, how do you find a criminal in a town where crime doesn't exist?
The stakes are high: the whole town is relying on Holly and Mark to solve the crime before the annual Jingle Bell Jubilee festival (which naturally the town's entire economic survival relies on), plus, whichever of them cracks the case will receive a promotion to Major Crimes—and there's only one spot.
Holly and Mark are both on thin ice after screwing up on the job. This assignment is their one shot at redemption, if they can put aside their bitter rivalry. And of course, it's not only their careers on the line, it's their hearts, too—regrets of their holiday party hookup last year haunt them like ghosts of Christmas past, so they both want to wrap up this rom-com gone wrong as quickly as possible. But with just twelve days until the festival, the countdown to catch a killer—without killing each other—is on.

About The Authors:

Elle Cosimano:

Elle Cosimano is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, International Thriller Award winner, Bram Stoker Award finalist, and Edgar® Award nominee. Her debut adult novel, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It, launched a witty, fast-paced mystery series that became a PEOPLE Magazine Pick and was named one of the New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2021. A TV show based on the series is now in development by Tina Fey and Lang Fisher for Peacock. In addition to writing novels for teens and adults, her essays have appeared in The Huffington Post and Time. Elle lives with her husband and two sons in Virginia.

Hannah Morrissey:

Hannah Morrissey is a USA Today bestselling author of the Black Harbor suspense series and other works of crime fiction. A lifelong survivor of Wisconsin winters, she delights in putting her characters (and her readers) in bone-chilling atmospheres that permeate beyond the page. Her distinctive brand of atmospheric thrillers have carved out its own sub-genre of “Midwestern Noir,” and her novels have been featured in the Book of the Month Club. She lives near Milwaukee with her husband, a grumble of pugs, and a TBR pile that refuses to die.

Together, these beloved bestselling authors join forces for the Holly & Mark Mystery series, a fast-paced, hilarious, holiday-rom-com-whodunit about two rival Special Agents who have to solve murders in an idyllic, Hallmark-esque town while trying not to M**der each other first. The series kicks off with Home for the Homicides, where a suspicious death, a career-making (or breaking) promotion, and one very inconvenient past hookup put Holly and Mark on a twelve-day collision course with a killer—and each other.
