(2026)(A book in the Inn at Holiday Bay series)
An omnibus of novels by Kathi Daley
Trickery in Toyland - It’s the week before Christmas, and Abby and Lacy are on a mission—find the one toy Lacy’s youngest wants more than anything. But when Toyland’s long-awaited shipment arrives without the elusive gift, the pair jump into a high-stakes holiday scavenger hunt where the coveted toy is part of the prize package. What begins as merry fun quickly turns chaotic as half the parents in town seem to be chasing the same hard-to-find treasure… and some will do anything to win.
Meanwhile, Toyland’s owner is stirring up trouble of his own—trouble that ends in murder. With a suspect list longer than Santa’s naughty-and-nice roll, Colt and Alex must unravel a tangle of holiday secrets before a killer slips away.
Celebrate the season with the entire Inn family as they dive into all the beloved traditions: Pamela’s List shenanigans, fresh Christmas snow, and the joyful anticipation of Georgia’s new baby. Cozy, chaotic, and filled with Christmas cheer—this is one holiday mystery you won’t want to miss.
Promise in the Proposal -
Christmas may be packed away, but in Holiday Bay, the chaos is just getting started.
Colt’s first case as a newly hired county detective is anything but routine. A shocking murder, a web of buried secrets, and three long-forgotten cold cases left behind by his predecessor collide in ways Colt never saw coming—and solving the present crime may depend on unlocking the past.
While Abby and Lacy pour their energy into a community fundraiser, Abby and Colt juggle blueprints for the home they hope to build together. At the same time, Georgia finds herself struggling with unexpected baby blues, adding one more emotional wrinkle to an already busy season.
And just when Abby thinks life might slow down, Colt and Mackey prepare to ask her a question she won’t be able to refuse.
In Holiday Bay, life, love, and murder have a way of arriving all at once. Cozy, twisty, and filled with heart, this post-Christmas mystery proves that while the holidays may end, the surprises never do.
Detours in Destiny -
Spring is giving way to summer in the charming coastal town of Holiday Bay, Maine, where blooming gardens seem to offer the promise of sun-soaked beaches and long, carefree days in the sun. But as the season shifts, so does the mood—because in Holiday Bay, even the brightest days can hide the darkest secrets.
The highlight of early summer is the much-anticipated three-day cookoff hosted by beloved chef Georgia Carter Peyton. After the chaos of her last event, Georgia is determined to deliver a flawless competition—and for a while, it seems she just might succeed. That is, until one of the contestants is found dead.
All eyes turn to the obvious suspect, a hot-headed local who was seen arguing with the victim just hours before the murder and who even took a swing at Abby when she tried to break things up. With motive and opportunity firmly in place, there appears to be a clear path to close the case, but Abby isn’t convinced it’s that simple.
