When local witch, Piper Addison, gets invited by her vampire boyfriend to an art opening in the big city weeks before the holidays, she jumps at the chance to go. A night of art and festive fun is exactly what Piper needs. That, and to get away from her mother who is on a mission to throw the biggest Christmas party their small town has ever seen.

It is all candy canes and jolly until a dead body shows up and a priceless work of art gets stolen. Even worse, Piper can't go back home until the killer is found and mother dearest is single-handedly running Piper's cafe into the ground.

Talk about a yuletide disaster!

Can our witch entrust the help of her ghost familiar to help solve the murder before her entire life implodes? Or will this be a holiday she will sorely remember forever?

Mistletoe, Mocha, and Murder is a paranormal cozy mystery novella in the Orchard Hollow mystery series. Read A Grave Roast to see where Piper's adventures started!
