Mrs. Claus and the Trouble with Turkeys (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496737830)

It's year-round Christmas cheer in this creative and witty mystery series featuring a unique heroine who's married to the real-life Santa Claus and living in the North Pole. In Santaland, it's beginning to look a lot like...Thanksgiving...and in between the festivities, April Claus must track down a killer hiding amid a parade of suspects...

At Castle Kringle, the elves are excitedly arranging their first ever Thanksgiving day feast. April's husband, Nick--the real Santa--has some misgivings, since it's tough to get ready for Christmas when everyone is obsessed with helium balloons and pie recipes. Chaos erupts when Gobbles, the live turkey imported for the castle feast, is bird-napped. That crime is quickly overshadowed at a pre-Thanksgiving potluck when Nick's cousin, Elspeth, face-plants into her mashed potatoes--dead.

Someone poisoned Elspeth, and April believes Constable Crinkle is hauling the wrong suspect off to jail. An ominous message, written in what seems to be blood and urging April to stop investigating, only convinces her more. But who's really to blame? Where is Gobbles the turkey? And can April solve a double helping of mystery in time for everyone to sit down to a non-deadly dinner together?
