Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy crime series with recurring characters you've grown attached to over multiple books.
You like mysteries where the stakes feel personal because the killer is fixated on the investigators themselves.
You appreciate Christmas-set crime fiction that mixes festive atmosphere with dark, genuine danger.

Maybe not for you if...

You're starting this series cold at book five without having read the earlier Kat and Mouse mysteries.
You prefer standalone mysteries over serialised crime series with established casts and ongoing arcs.
You want your Christmas crime fiction lighthearted rather than dealing with a psychopath targeting families.

About this book

The fifth book in the Kat and Mouse Murder Mysteries series follows the Connection private investigation team as they prepare for Christmas, only to be drawn into a major case. They must locate a killer who has been released on parole and has gone missing. The investigators suspect he may have returned to target the victim he attempted to murder nineteen years earlier, before his capture. As the case unfolds, the killer's focus extends to the private investigators and their police colleagues, causing significant harm. Doris reaches out to a former colleague to help Connection pursue the suspect. The investigation tests the team and raises questions about the future of both the case and the agency itself. Other books in the series include Murder Undeniable, Murder Unexpected, Murder Unearthed, and Murder Untimely.
