The 19th Christmas / by Patterson, James,1947-author.; Paetro, Maxine,author.;
As the holidays approach, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends in the Women's Murder Club have much to celebrate. Crime is down. The medical examiner's office is quiet. Even the courts are showing some Christmas spirit. And the news cycle is so slow that journalist Cindy Thomas is on assignment to tell a story about the true meaning of the season for San Francisco. Then a fearsome criminal known only as "Loman" seizes control of the headlines. He is planning a deadly surprise for Christmas morning. And he has commissioned dozens of criminal colleagues to take actions that will mask his plans. All that Lindsay and the SFPD can figure out is that Loman's greed-- for riches, for bloodshed, for attention-- is limitless. Solving crimes never happens on schedule, but as this criminal mastermind unleashes credible threats by the hour, the month of December is upended for the Women's Murder Club. Avoiding tragedy is the only holiday miracle they seek.

The Christmas cabin / by Major, Michelle,author.;
As a girl, single mom Lauren Maxwell hated Magnolia, South Carolina. And she thought she'd left her hometown in the rearview mirror years ago, but a message from her beloved baby brother, Brody, changes all that. He's getting married on Christmas Eve. So a holiday at Camp Blossom, the rustic sleepaway camp that had been a haven during her growing-up years, it is. Lauren won't even have to see her dictatorial father. Or her ex-husband, Ben ... When Ben greets her at the surprisingly decrepit cabin, he's just as stubborn -- and as irresistible -- as ever. And when she discovers he's working with her estranged father to buy the campgrounds and rebuild them as luxury housing, Lauren is furious. She won't let the man who broke her heart win. So she and her daughter stay in town to block the sale. But the magic of the Christmas season brings back memories Lauren tried so hard to forget: his crooked smile, their daughter's laughter at the breakfast table, the feel of her hand in his. As the spark between them rekindles, Lauren realizes that second chances are real. And they're worth fighting for.
