Mona Marple’s Mexican Mysteries Cozy Mystery series has ten books, starting with Christmas Corpse in 2020 and running through Holly Jolly Homicide in 2024. The titles lean heavily into holiday themes, with entries like Slay Bells Ring, A Lost Claus, Mistletoe Murder, and Yule Be Sorry. The food-related puns show up too, in books like Don’t Taco ‘Bout Murder, Here Today Gone Tomato, and It’s Nacho Funeral.
The series mixes cozy mystery and holiday fiction, and the playful naming gives a good sense of the tone. Publication order is the recommended way to read them, starting with Christmas Corpse. Several books have confirmed publication years between 2020 and 2024, while others are listed without dates. Nutcracker Conspiracy is the tenth and most recent entry.
