Liz Ireland’s Mrs. Claus series puts a mystery spin on holiday settings. Starting with Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings in 2020, the books pair seasonal themes with crime stories. The titles themselves hint at the range: Mrs. Claus and the Halloween Homicide, Mrs. Claus and the Candy Corn Caper, and Mrs. Claus and the Trouble with Turkeys cover holidays from Halloween through Thanksgiving, while Mrs. Claus and the Nightmare Before New Year’s and Mrs. Claus and the Very Vicious Valentine push into winter celebrations.
With ten books published between 2020 and 2025, the series has kept a steady pace, often releasing multiple entries per year. The sixth book, Irish Milkshake Murder, breaks from the “Mrs. Claus and the…” naming pattern, and entries like Mrs. Claus and the Evil Elves and Mrs. Claus And The Wily Witch add a supernatural flavor to the mix. Readers who enjoy cozy mysteries tied to holiday settings will find plenty here, best read in publication order from the start.
