The Winter Mysteries Bundle

Sick of the cold? The snow, sleet, freezing rain? Well, yeah.

To help us all cope, Bundle Rabbit has come up with a 10-book bundle of mysteries set in winter, curated by Michael Jasper. And I have a book in it! The Tuxedoed Man is part of the Mendenhall Mystery series.

Crimes committed in the heat of the moment, during the coldest time of the year…

This ebook bundle collects mystery novels set in the coldest season of the year, or mysteries containing a strong element of cold (in one sense of the word or another).

The full collection includes the following mysteries:

Two sleuths in the North Carolina mountains spend a snowy week in March searching for people who don’t want to be found…

A haunted author must spend the winter battling his addictions, and worse…

A shapeshifter battles ancient spirits, a covert government agency, and his own dark past in a race to solve a murder…

A desperate man gets a phone call that pulls him back into a world of violence and mystery that he tried to leave behind…

An accidental death, a train wreck and dark secrets in a deadly northern winter places a police chief and her niece in jeopardy…

A crime committed decades ago refuses to lie dormant under the black waters of a lake…

The daughter of the Prince of Polka travels to the polka heartland of New Krakow, Pennsylvania, to solve the mystery of her father’s murder…

A nature-loving woman and a mysterious photographer stand up to a shadowy lumber company that threatens their beloved swans at Turtle Pond…

Two retired detectives search for a friend near a remote Idaho lake, a search that could lead to the most dangerous serial killer in Las Vegas history…

Two brothers must unravel the weird and dangerous secrets of Salmon Run, Alaska: a place of wild animals, wild lands, and wild inhabitants…

Special, limited-time offer:
So stoke that fire against the chill in the air, put up your slippered feet, and start reading one!
