Deck the halls with boughs of . . . danger.

Joey Darling and her friend Starla McKnight are all set to host a new TV Christmas light special. But, before filming even begins, things go awry. Legs—with a human body attached—are sticking out of the family’s chimney, wrecking the feel-good holiday show.

Things turn even more perilous when they discover their victim is a felon recently released from prison. Joey tries to stay out of the investigation, but she’s as curious as a kid on Christmas morning. As more facts emerge, the mystery of what happened up on the housetop continues to grow.

Joey’s fiancé, Detective Jackson Sullivan, is on the case. But someone else is determined to wreck Joey’s Christmas special . . . and they just might succeed.

My thoughts:  WRECK THE HALLS is Ms. Barritt's newest Christmas novella in her  hugely popular The Worse Detective Ever series. A Christmas special goes bad when Joey discovers a "Naughty Santa" the homeowners know nothing about -- and when "Santa" turns out to be a dead body.... well, the mystery is on. Who planted the body and what was the killer after and how on earth was Joey involved? You'll have to read  it to  find out for yourself.

The mysteries in this series are stand-alones so you don't have to read  the others in the  series but you will want to.

Warning for more conservative readers, there is one soft swear word included.

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
