The Silence of the Elves and Elf Confidential are two cozy mystery books that take a more fantastical approach than Muldoon’s other series. The Holly Hopewell books feature an elf detective, putting them in the tradition of Christmas-themed genre fiction where magic and mystery share space.
Published in 2016 and 2020, the two books are a smaller project in Muldoon’s catalogue but distinctive in tone. They sit naturally alongside the Christmas River series for readers who want holiday-adjacent cozy mysteries, though the elf protagonist takes things in a more playful direction than Cinnamon Peters and her pie shop.
