The Mistletoe Murder Club by Katie Marsh

Clio, an actress-turned-struggling-PI, is elated when she's cast in her local Christmas pantomime, but when the director is murdered on opening night, she'll have to focus not only on her performance, but on solving a murder as well. Her solution? Bring in her two best friends to assist her on the case — while also playing a cow in the show. The Mistletoe Murder Club is a perfect cozy mystery, especially if you're on the hunt for a book that's as funny as it is clever.
