    Someone is keeping a Deadvent Calendar. A series of bizarre murders, one for every day of December, with only one thing linking them: all the victims hated Christmas. 
    Hard to believe, especially for the police, who won't listen to the men who think they have uncovered it, Albert Williams and his friend Shilo Coombes. This can only mean that it's going to be up to them to stop it.  
    But will Shilo's crazy obsession with Sherlock Holmes be a help or a hindrance? And are they ready for the weird plot they uncover as they open the doors on this Deadvent Calendar? 
    Deadvent Calendar is a darkly comic murder mystery of fiendish criminal genius, unhinged detectives and one deadly, madcap Christmas.

    Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where the only thing bigger than the Daniel Boone Festival is the mystery that's set the town ablaze! 
     
     
     
    As autumn leaves fall and the smell of campfire drifts through the air, Mae West is ready to cozy up to the Daniel Boone Festival, the highlight of Normal, Kentucky. But when a fire at the Frontier Village turns into a blazing whodunit, Mae's relaxing plans go up in smoke. 
     
     
     
    Dr. Everett Hamilton, a celebrated historian, is found toastier than a s'more at the annual festival. Worse yet, the flames were no accident—Dr. Hamilton was as dead as a doornail before the fire even started. When another body drops hotter than a cast-iron skillet, Mae realizes there's more to this festival than meets the eye. 
     
     
     
    With her trusty sidekicks—Dottie, Queenie, Betts, and Abby (the Laundry Club Ladies)—by her side, Mae trades in her festival fun for some down-home sleuthing. From suspicious historians to smoldering affairs, the suspects are as thick as campfire smoke, and it's going to take more than Mae's Southern charm to put out this fire. 
     
     
     
    Can Mae catch the culprit before the whole festival goes up in flames, or will this mystery be her final campground cookout?
