Home for the Homicides: Elle Cosimano & Hannah Morrissey in Kenosha, Wisconsin!
“Move aside Santa Claus and present piles, Home for the Homicides is now the most fun you can have with Christmas.” —Ashley Winstead, USA Today bestselling author of "The Future Saints"
Bestselling authors Elle Cosimano (the Finaly Donovan series) and Hannah Morrissey (the Black Harbor series) have teamed up to bring you the story of a small, quaint town that experiences its first major crime: a murder in the town square! Local government and police have no idea how to handle such a case—and right before their biggest event of the year—so the Big City cops come in catch the killer and save the town from economic ruin. Get ready for all the romcom tropes and crime fiction plot twists you could ever want in one story!
Join Elle and Hannah at the Rhode Center for the Arts on Sunday, October 11th, at 4 p.m. to celebrate the release of "Home for the Homicides: A Holly & Mark Mystery"! They will be sharing the inspiration behind their new collaboration and answering all your burning questions about Irresisti-Balls (IYKYK) and how to use ornaments as a weapon, followed by book signing and photo ops with the author.

ABOUT "HOME FOR THE HOMICIDES"
'Tis the season . . . for murder.
"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 murder, 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.
Co-authored by New York Times bestseller Elle Cosimano (Finlay Donovan series) and USA Today bestseller Hannah Morrissey (Black Harbor series), Home for the Homicides is a sexy, light-hearted romp, with a dash of merriment and murder.

The third book in the series, Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun, was an instant New York Times bestseller. Cosimano lives with her husband and two sons in Virginia.
