Grave Holiday (A Maddie Graves Mystery Book 9)

Christmas is almost here and Nick Winters has big plans for the love of his life, Maddie Graves. A proposal is imminent, but first death plays a visit to Blackstone Bay.
It seems the town’s local Santa has been a naughty boy, dating multiple women without caring if they’re single or married. Age isn’t a factor – he likes them young and old – and the suspect list is long and twisty.
Maddie finds herself dealing with a perverted ghost while trying to narrow the suspect list. The problem is, each time they clear one person another pops up. Santa was a terrible person in some ways and a charming one in others. Solving his murder is important to everyone, but Christmas is barreling down and everyone wants a happy holiday so they’re desperate to find answers before the first snowfall of the year.
When Maddie finds out that her nemesis Marla was one of Santa’s favorite gift options, she can’t help but wonder if her oldest enemy could be a current threat. As things start to unravel, Maddie soon realizes that there’s more at stake than punishment for the guilty. There’s also salvation for the living to worry about.
Nick is determined to deliver the perfect proposal. He just has to keep Maddie safe long enough to do it.
Who is getting the gift of a lifetime? Spend Christmas in Blackstone Bay if you want to find out.
