The Christmas Cozy Mystery series by Mona Marple blends holiday settings with murder investigations, kicking off with Christmas Corpse in 2020. The series has grown steadily, reaching nine books by 2025 with Mince Pies to Die For as the most recent entry. Two books came out in both 2021 and 2024, keeping the pace brisk across the run.
The titles themselves lean into festive wordplay — Slay Bells Ring, A Lost Claus, Yule Be Sorry, Holly Jolly Homicide — which sets the tone for the mix of Christmas atmosphere and mystery plots. Starting with Christmas Corpse and reading in order gives the best experience as characters and recurring elements carry through from one book to the next.
