A Lost Claus

A Family Reunion on the Ice. Elf and Safety Not Guaranteed.
I'm meeting Nick's extended family for the first time in Candy Cane Hollow, and "big family" doesn't quite cover the Claus clan. There's cocoa on every table, names I can't keep straight, and a reunion tradition I wasn't prepared for: ice fishing on a frozen lake.
I'm determined to make a good impression. Then, during the family's grand day on the ice, one of them vanishes near an abandoned fishing hole and the celebration turns into a search. Chief Superintendent Wiggles calls it an accident, but I'm not so sure.
With Mrs. Claus steadying nerves, Gilbert, the house-elf, "helping" with snacks and theories, and Nick watching his family knot with worry, I follow a trail of frosty clues--old grudges, new rivalries, and the kind of secrets people keep even from those they love best.
We need answers fast before fresh snow buries the last footprints and the elf police cuff the wrong Claus.
A Lost Claus is the third book in the Candy Cane Hollow Christmas Cozy Mystery series, a warm, magical, and clean holiday whodunit for fans of Hallmark-style cozies and anyone who wishes they could spend Christmas in Santa's own hometown.
