So when a tourist is found stabbed to death by an icicle ornament in the middle of the town nativity scene, the local police are out of their depth--after all, how do you find a criminal in a town where crime doesn't exist? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stakes are high: the whole town is relying on Holly and Mark to solve the crime before the annual Jingle Bell Jubilee festival (which naturally the town's entire economic survival relies on), plus, whichever of them cracks the case will receive a promotion to Major Crimes--and there's only one spot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Holly and Mark are both on thin ice after screwing up on the job. This assignment is their one shot at redemption, if they can put aside their bitter rivalry. And of course, it's not only their careers on the line, it's their hearts, too--regrets of their holiday party hookup last year haunt them like ghosts of Christmas past, so they both want to wrap up this rom-com gone wrong as quickly as possible. But with just twelve days until the festival, the countdown to catch a killer--without killing each other--is on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Co-authored by \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller Elle Cosimano (Finlay Donovan series) and \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller Hannah Morrissey (Black Harbor series), \u003ci\u003eHome for the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHomicides\u003c\/i\u003e is a sexy, light-hearted romp, with a dash of merriment and murder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elle Cosimano,Hannah Morrissey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Minotaur Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.41h x 6.21w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250413352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eELLE COSIMANO is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e USA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author, an International Thriller Award winner, and an Edgar Award nominee.
