Collectively, their stories do not merely entertain but resonate with deep cultural and historical significance, capturing the zeitgeist of their respective eras and enriching the genre with diverse, pioneering voices. 'Readers who venture into this 'Christmas Murder Mystery Boxed-Set' are in for a literary treat that offers more than just the thrill of the puzzle.

    Despite being a rising star in the BAU unit, FBI Special Agent Hailey Rock still lives in the shadow of her older sister, who remained in their small Midwestern town to become a police sheriff, and who remains the favorite in their parents’ eyes. Hailey has not thought of her estranged family in ages, but when a killer strikes in their home county, eerily mimicking the case of their missing sister, Hailey has no choice but to return home, face her past, catch a killer—and re-open the case of her missing sister.

    It’s personal this time. 
    
    But are they walking right into a trap?
