Sam Shovel Mysteries
Death of a Christmas Tree Salesman
Sam Shovel only comes to life for twelve days a year at Christmastime, and this year, he’s in time to solve a murder mystery at the North Pole. O. Tannenbaum—the world’s largest supplier of Christmas trees—has been murdered, and although Nick and Nora Claus are too busy to solve the mystery, Sam has enough time on his branchy hands to take a stab at it.
The North Pole is full of suspects, from the owners of the neighboring candy cane farm to Santa himself! But which Santa? Is it Nick Claus, Père Noël, Sinterklaas, Ded Moroz, der Weihnachtsmann, Sheng dan Lao ren, Baba Noël, or someone else entirely?
Woven with enough Christmas references to choke a reindeer, find out if Sam succeeds in catching the killer in Death of a Christmas Tree Salesman.
A fantastical Christmas cozy mystery perfect for enjoying with a cup of hot cocoa and a cookie any time of year!

Murder on the North Pole Express
When snowman Sam Shovel came to life this Christmas, he was hoping he’d manage to avoid getting sucked into another murder mystery as he hopped aboard the North Pole Express with his good friend, Kertas the Yule Lad. But things start looking bleak when Sam meets a conductor no one else has seen and then ends up melted, causing his memories to go even more slushy than usual in Murder on the North Pole Express.
Although this is Book 2 in the Sam Shovel mysteries, they can be read in any order!
