Publisher's Summary

Clare's grown very fond of Alfred Glockner, the part-time comic and genuinely jolly charity Santa who's been using her coffeehouse as a place to warm his mittens. When she finds him gunned down in a nearby alley, a few subtle clues convince her that Alfred's death was something more than the tragic result of a random mugging, despite the conclusions of the police. With Clare's boyfriend, NYPD detective Mike Quinn, distracted by a cold case of his own, and ex-husband, Matt, "investigating" this year's holiday lingerie catalogs", Clare charges ahead solo and discovers this Santa had a list that he was checking twice - and the folks on it were not very nice. Then someone tries to ice Clare, and she really gets steamed.

Between baking delicious Christmas goodies and fending off the attentions of a persistent professional elf, Clare sets out to solve St. Nick's murder. But she'd better watch out, because if she fails to stop this stone-cold killer, she may just get the biggest chill of her life.

Excellent Story

Great story with lots of movement a bit too much sex for a mystery and feels more like a romance novel. I prefer not to hear so much involvement as it means I can't listen to it even in my closed door office as it is against policy should someone walk in. All the rest is awesome.

holiday grind

a bit too much narrative... audiobooks should move quicker as the story unfolds ....they could be at least 1.5 hrs shorter

Details and Research are key to a great book

Overall, the book was good. The only problem I had was the Jamaican facts, and the accent was a hot mess. why can't they find a real Jamaican to do the authentic accent. and secondly, Black cake or rum cake as most Jamaicans call it. It doesn't have any fudge or chocolate in it. It's the spices that give it that dark color. Thirdly, ackee is not poisonous, only the seeds. Ackee and salt fish is the national dish of Jamaican. I really did enjoy this book, but I better you didn't think a real Jamaican would be listening.
