Ho-Ho-Homicide: Books 1-3
(2025)(A book in the Ho-Ho-Homicide series)
An omnibus of novels by R A Muth
Welcome to the North Pole, where Christmas magic is real, cocoa flows freely, and murder is surprisingly common...
Juniper Hollybright never meant to become a detective. She's just a mediocre toymaker with ADHD, anxiety, and a tendency to notice things other elves miss. But when bodies start dropping at Santa's workshop—poisoned, blackmailed, and strategically placed in holiday displays—Juniper discovers she has a gift for solving the impossible.
Armed with her mystery-novel expertise, her nervous knitting habit, and Figgy the heroic trainee reindeer, Juniper transforms from overlooked craftself to the North Pole's most unlikely (and unstoppable) detective. Together, they expose embezzlement schemes, blackmail operations, and systemic corruption—all while navigating choir drama, cocoa poisonings, and the occasional attempt on Juniper's life.
