Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings

Mrs. Claus Mysteries, Book 1

By: Liz Ireland

Narrated by: Kimberley Loomis

This Christmas season, travel to the North Pole you’ve never seen before—where Santa’s new wife, April Claus, is not only set on creating the perfect holiday—she’s also set on solving the perfect crime…

Love is full of surprises—though few compare to realizing that you’re marrying the real-life Santa. April Claus dearly loves her new husband, Nick, but adjusting to life in the North Pole is not all sugarplums and candy canes. 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 . . .

“Exceptional…the perfect holiday entertainment.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW

Fun story

I really enjoyed this listen right after the holidays. Terrific narrator--it was entertaining and amusing. Just what I needed to end the year and start a new year!

Terrific narration

I enjoyed listening to this cozy mystery. It was an easy listen as the narrator's voice made the story come to life. I couldn't stop listening! I will definitely be reading the other stories in this series.

Nothing like a little mystery over the holidays!

Not a story I expected to love, but I couldn’t stay away for long! Had to know what what’s going to happen! I love Christmas stories and mild murder mysteries! It’s was a perfect end of season listen! I listen to a lot of books and definitely have favorite narrators. I can’t wait to hear more from this one!
