She didn't realize she'd traded "Naval Aviator" for "amateur sleuth"… Retired Navy pilot Angel Warren’s new life awaits in Stonebridge, Pennsylvania, where she’s opening Shop ‘Round the World, her travel-inspired gift and novelty shop. A newly empty nester and longtime widow, she’s looking forward to leaving her flying career and its many life-or-death decisions behind and reconnecting with family and friends. Right now, Angel’s biggest challenge is getting the shop ready for its grand opening just weeks before Christmas. Until she finds a dead body in the shop murdered with one of her specialty Santa figurines. Even worse, Angel’s fingerprints are on the “weapon” and she’s a prime suspect. It doesn’t help that the deceased is an old friend who’s collected a long list of enemies as a cut-throat real estate agent. And then there’s the Stonebridge Chief of Police—and Angel’s high school BFF—who brings her in for questioning. If Angel wants to clear her name before the Christmas rush, she’s going to need to do some sleuthing on her own—and with the help of her stressed out parrot, Ralph.

If Katy Cross can’t clear an innocent mother of a crime she didn’t commit, Christmas will be canceled for one special little boy. Skeeterville’s annual Christmas in the Park nativity scene is the holiday event of the season, but things turn more murderous than merry when a stranger is found face down in the straw, fatally stabbed with a broken shepherd’s staff. The only evidence points to the victim’s battered wife. With nothing else to go on—the sheriff makes the arrest, leaving the woman’s little boy homeless—right as the Christmas festivities kick off. Nothing about the dilemma makes sense, and Katy Cross realizes it is up to her to find the real killer before the holiday is completely ruined. Join Katy, along with her best friend Misty, and husband John, as they attempt to solve this Christmas crime before Skeeterville’s favorite celebration is brought to a screeching halt, leaving the town anything but merry and bright. As always, this Christian cozy mystery is free of sex, gore and foul language and full of fun, small town holiday spirit.

Once again, creators Kris Wilson, Rob DenBleyker, and Dave McElfatrick combine some of their best strips and a host of never-before-seen comics into a new, collected book. In the best, sickest tradition, Cyanide & Happiness, simply drawn figures and the wildly inappropriate topics they cover - including cannibalism, murder, and incest - is most reminiscent of South Park, but offers a profane sensibility all its own. Includes a foreword by comedian Bo Burnham and Poetry Corner, a collection of demented rhymes.

Retired Navy Pilot Angel Warren’s sleuthing days are behind her. At least, that’s what she tells herself after finding two dead bodies during her first year back in Stonebridge, Pennsylvania. Murders make customers wary and Angel’s sales are suffering. With her daughters back in college and the cases behind her, Angel focuses on attracting more customers into her novelty shop. Hoping to boost local tourism, Angel researches how to create a walking history tour. During a dry run for her inaugural walk, her brother’s Pomeranian leads her through the woods and to her third body, the apparent victim of multiple stings from a nearby wasp nest. Angel recognizes the deceased as her sister’s cherished employee who was days away from being married. The scene doesn’t sit right with Angel’s best friend, Detective Trinity Colson, however, who suspects foul play. When the autopsy reveals a different cause of death, Angel dives into her most dangerous case yet. Soon Angel, along with her eclectic crew featuring two dogs and a feisty parrot, are once again on the hunt for a murderer. But is Angel also being hunted?
