I find it hard to believe that we are in our last month of 2025 and our KRL reading challenge. But time flies, as they say, and I feel it fleeting faster every year as I age. Growing up, during the school year when I’d pray for Christmas break or summer vacation to come, time moved so much slower. Now, as soon as I come to terms with one holiday another is fast approaching and I feel as though I’ve just begun to celebrate the one I’m being asked to leave behind. Personally, I blame the barrage of marketing that inundates us with Christmas in July and Summerween. One appearance of Halloween and Christmas is no longer acceptable and I find it irksome. I also find that I’m only a few key phrases away from becoming my father who called every holiday one that was created by the greeting card companies. I don’t know how the toy, chocolate, and flower industries manage to escape blame but that is a question that will have to remain unanswered, along with who shot JFK and which came first, the chicken or the egg. Ugh! I’m doing it again. I’m becoming my father and digressing.
So, for December, our final KRL Coming Attractions Reading Challenge month, the theme is one that is meant to be a full celebration of all the Christmas season has to offer for our lovely readers, and a seasonal intervention for me. In order to make certain I keep Christmas in my heart now and into 2026 I’ve curated a Seasonal Seven list; seven books that make murder look and feel festive enough to appeal to my grinchy disposition yet warm and cozy enough to help grow my tiny heart. As always, if my suggestions don’t appeal to you, please check out the amazing new releases and soon-to-be released books on offer for December. Books make an excellent Christmas gift or stocking stuffer. And if you have time to spare on December 16 stop by the Cozy Mystery Lovers Facebook group for Sip & Sensibility & Suspects: An Austentatious Mystery Multi-Author Takeover Event, where we’ll be celebrating 250 years of Jane Austen through mystery, romance, a spot of tea, and giveaways!. If you enjoy this monthly column, feel free to share the link to it on your social media channels. Spreading the word is the best way to show your support.
Seasonal Seven
Christmas sparkles at the mountain chateau, but not every secret is wrapped with a bow. Parker Hayes expects a dreamy holiday escape when she and some of the Magnolia Grove crew head to Chateau Moore for a luxurious winter weekend. The chateau is the picture of a winter wonderland with garlands and music, crackling fires and twinkling lights. But when a body is discovered frozen in the hedge maze, the festive plans take a frosty turn. Snow begins to fall, a blizzard slams the estate shut, and Parker starts to realize everyone might be trapped inside the chateau with a killer. With time running out and no help on the way, Parker must untangle a web of secrets hidden behind holiday cheer. What she uncovers is more shocking than any gift under the tree. A Whisk of Woes is a Southern cozy mystery filled with Christmas sparkle, snowy suspense and one cafe owner determined to solve a deadly holiday puzzle—served up with gingerbread, sharp wit and sleuthing in style. – A Whisk of Woes by Simone Stier
A festive B&B. A grinchy guest. A missing manuscript—and another murder. Ellie Byrne was hoping for a quiet holiday season, filled with sugar cookies, Christmas movies, and zero dead bodies. But when a famous author drops dead during a winter storm—and his final manuscript mysteriously vanishes—her cozy bed-and-breakfast in Salem Falls becomes the center of a snow-covered scandal. Soon, Ellie and her opinionated pets are up to their eyeballs in secrets, suspects, and surprise guests with hidden agendas. As the guest list grows and the lies pile higher than the holiday wreaths, it’s up to Ellie to untangle the clues before the killer strikes again. Can she solve the mystery and salvage the season, or will Christmas at the B&B become a permanent cold case? – Holidays Are Murder by Nellie H. Steele, A Novel Idea Publishing, LLC
Clare Garner is determined to make this holiday season merry and bright. Between decorating the gallery, planning the town’s annual Snow Stroll, and avoiding another romantic tangle between Jackson and Blake, she’s juggling enough tinsel to wrap the whole town. But when a body is found surrounded by suspiciously perfect snowmen—Silver Pines goes from festive to frantic. With cocoa-fueled gossip swirling faster than a snow globe, Clare finds herself knee-deep in clues, cocoa, and Christmas chaos. Can she unwrap the truth before the killer melts back into the crowd—or will this holiday mystery be her last gift of the season? – Murder Through the Snow by Lyla Blue, Comfy Cozy Books
One dead Santa. One naughty list of suspects. One chaos-loving Goldendoodle. It’s Christmas in Willow Cove! Christmas Eve at the Willow Cove Wedding Chapel was supposed to be all twinkle lights and taffeta—until the hired Santa is found strangled under the mistletoe and a blizzard seals everyone inside like a snow-globe of doom. Suddenly, wedding coordinator Ally Fisher is juggling panicked guests, power outages, and her crime-sniffing Goldendoodle, Theo, who keeps uncovering evidence her boyfriend, Deputy Nate Dalton, would really prefer he didn’t eat. Every guest has a secret sharper than a candy-cane shiv. The bride slipped into a suspiciously cozy chat with her ex as the lights went out. The groom’s finances are in freefall. Evelyn Crumb, Willow Cove’s baking queen, is one bad review away from combusting—and Martha Dixon, the victim’s ex-wife, arrived with a live reindeer and absolutely no alibi. The storm intensifies. Tempers boil. Evidence vanishes. And someone snowed in at the chapel is getting ready to kill again. To save the wedding—and herself—Ally must crack the case before the killer adds one more present under the tree: her. – Murder Under the Mistletoe by J.J. Joseph
When a flaming dead body drops out of the town Christmas tree and crashes through your ceiling, it’s safe to say this Christmas will not be merry or bright. Now my crazy ex-best friend is telling everyone in town I killed Dr. Merriweather. Yes, he’s her therapist. Yes, they were having an affair. No, I don’t know why everyone in our Christmas crazy small town thinks I’m suspect number one. She even hired a private eye. Like…hello? Insane? He shows up all tall and broad shouldered, wearing a trench coat and a fedora—Barf! And accuses me of lying to cover my tracks. Like I have time to orchestrate a murder. I just want to sell holiday treats, keep my café from going under, and survive December without anyone else getting set on fire. But when your business, reputation, and holiday spirit are on the line, you do what any self-respecting small-town baker does—sharpen your candy cane, hunt down a killer, and try not to kiss the man who thinks you’re a murderer. And when more bodies start piling up? I know we’re going to have a murderous little Christmas. – Peppermint and Poison by Alina Jacobs
Kitty Goring isn’t in the mood for tinsel or trifle. But when her mother insists she attend Lady Penelope Ponsonby’s legendary Christmas masquerade at Frostbrook House, Kitty dons her peacock mask, her emerald velvet gown, and prepares for a night of brittle small talk and bottomless champagne. What she didn’t prepare for was murder. As snow drifts settle over the grand estate and champagne glasses clink beneath chandeliers, Lady Penelope unveils a scandalous parlour game: The Twelve Lies of Christmas. But when one guest is found dead beside the punch bowl, the game turns deadly. And the lies begin to snowball. Trapped in a house full of high society’s most cunning socialites, rivals, and a few too many “coincidental” strangers, Kitty must race to uncover which lie was worth killing for…before the killer strikes again. With her loyal Scottie dog by her side, an increasingly irate Detective Inspector Henry Burton underfoot, and mistletoe concealing more secrets than kisses, Kitty must solve the case before the twelve lies turn into twelve corpses. – The Twelve Lies of Christmas by Kitty Goring
After a messy divorce, fifty-something Ellie Prescott is starting over—one house-sitting job at a time. Her latest assignment brings her and Toffee, her mischievous toy poodle, to a postcard-perfect town decked in twinkle lights and tinsel. But when the former bakery owner—famous for guarding her secret recipes—is found dead before Christmas, Ellie’s peaceful getaway turns into a recipe for disaster. Armed with a curious nose (Toffee’s) and a knack for stumbling into trouble (Ellie’s), the pair soon uncover layers of rivalry, jealousy, and a dash of holiday deceit. Someone in this cozy little town has been stirring up more than cookie batter… and if Ellie isn’t careful, she might be next on their naughty list. Full of warmth, wit, and canine charm, Tinsel, Toffee, and Trouble is the perfect holiday escape for fans of small-town mysteries, sweet treats, and second chances. – Tinsel, Toffee, & Trouble by C.A. Phipps
