A witty, rompy mystery full of holiday hijinks from award-winning author Tamara Berry! It’s beginning to look a lot like murder in this holly-jolly mystery where true crime meets tinsel.
 
Six months into her new life in Arizona, former journalist-turned-PI-turned-barista Amber Winslow is settling into a slower pace—podcasting with her grandma’s octogenarian friends at Seven Ponds Retirement Community. But her quiet days take a sharp turn when a battered, amnesiac teen crashes into her life—literally.
 
The girl, dubbed Mal, only knows Amber’s voice from the Death Comes Calling podcast and arrives with two things: a Post-It note containing Amber's address and a dead Santa Claus in her trunk...
As the quirky retirement crew and Amber investigate, they uncover strange links between Mal, a string of rogue Mall Santas, and a Navy SEAL past that ties back to Amber's PI ex-boyfriend, Bones. The team races to find answers, navigating a tangled web of secrets involving suspicious Santas, deadly drugs, and one very personal bombshell that changes everything Amber thought she knew...
