Amazon Best Selling Cozy Mystery

"Cyanide Night, Holy Night is a hilariously sharp and twisty holiday whodunit where a snowed-in historian, a sassy talking pug, and a sapphic romance collide in a paranormal cozy mystery that proves murder never takes a holiday." – NewInBooks

A Christmas Eve murder.
A historian snowed in with a killer.
A pug who won’t shut up about it.

Trapped with a killer and a talking pug, Olivia is having anything but a silent night.

Historian Olivia Corbyn expected elegance and eggnog when she agreed to document the opening of a century-old time capsule at the prestigious Hawthorne Estate on Christmas Eve. Instead, she's snowed in with a houseful of suspects after the family patriarch is found poisoned.

Stranded by a blizzard in a mansion brimming with secrets, Olivia must rely on her keen intellect, unpredictable psychic flashes, and her companions — a hilarious talking pug named Maudine and her girlfriend Vivian — to solve the case.

The deeper she digs, the more tangled the web becomes. The clues point to long-buried betrayals, stolen fortunes, and a suspicious death that might not have been an accident after all. As holiday cheer clashes with family secrets and a killer who may strike again, Olivia races to untangle the mystery before Christmas morning arrives.

A wickedly funny holiday cozy mystery featuring a talking pug whose wit is as sharp as her bark, sapphic romance, and a supernatural spin on the classic locked-room puzzle. Perfect for fans of Victoria Gilbert and Bailey Cates, Cyanide Night, Holy Night can be enjoyed as a standalone or as part of the Brickstone Paranormal Cozy Mystery series — every mystery is self-contained, with recurring characters against a charming small-town backdrop.

"A delightful blend of holiday magic and deadly secrets. Maudine steals every scene and Olivia's relationship with Vivian adds heart to this festive whodunit!"
