Going home for the holidays can be murder in a bracing mystery by Amazon Charts bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Jess Lourey.

After more than a decade away, Mira James isn’t keen on returning to her Minnesota hometown for the holidays. Her childhood memories aren’t particularly jolly. Even less festive is the news of a serial killer on the loose.

With only ten shopping days till Christmas, the Candy Cane Killer has been very busy slashing through the snow. Eager to earn her official PI stripes, Mira is anxious to track him down. But when the latest victim is a woman from her high school graduating class, the investigation hits a little too close to home.

Even worse? Mira has good reason to fear that she’s next. To stop a killer in his tracks, she may have to start digging into the ghosts of her own Christmas past.

Revised edition: This edition of December Dread includes editorial revisions.

Good story

Love this series. It’s smart and funny. Despite being a murder mystery, with all the eccentric and interesting characters, it’s quite comforting and enjoyable. Looking forward to the January installment.

Addicted to Mira James

This was a great holiday read for the season! I’m not a fan mushy romance Christmas books but this one was a perfect mix. It had enough engaging story line, mystery, suspense, humor, and a tad romance to be the right amount for me. If you are looking for a cozy Christmas mystery this is the one!

Great!

I've come to admire and enjoy Jess Lauren's mystery/suspense novels: characters you love to hear about, stories that take surprising twists. Now add humor and you've got stories that you can listen to (read) multiple times and still laugh and smile at her turn of phrase, unexpected gags, and delightful characters. Jess Lourey has a rare talent for humor with just the right sense of timing and application of wackiness. You've just gotta love the 90-year old Mrs. Burns and her bold yet wise lascivious approach to life, the blond Adonis Johnny, entrepreneurial mayor Kennie Rodgers, and all the others. This Murder by Month series is delightful. The narrator, Jennifer Jill Araya, is perfect for this series. You often believe you're hearing different characters speaking. December Dread is a real treat, as is the entire series.

A rare talent for comedy!
