A Yuletide Kazoo
(2026)(A book in the Highclere Inn & Carriage House Mystery series)
A Story by Josh Hellyer
A Highclere Christmas like no other—an entirely standalone novella outside the main mystery series, featuring all your favourite characters (and all their worst decisions).
At Highclere Inn & Carriage House, Christmas traditions include overcooked pudding, questionable decorating decisions… and at least one family scandal.
But nothing compares to Christmas 2002.
When Mason Valentine is persuaded (bullied) into telling the story, his nieces and nephews quickly discover that what began as a perfectly ordinary holiday spiraled into a spectacular catastrophe: a mystery that shouldn’t have existed, a baby that arrived at precisely the wrong moment, and a sting operation that somehow involved the entire family—whether they liked it or not.
It was chaotic.
It was absurd.
It was a complete and utter disaster.
And Mason is certain of one thing: They didn’t get the whole story right the first time.
Genre: General Fiction
