Jayne Frost, daughter of Jack Frost and niece of Santa Claus, is sent to Nocturne Falls to snoop around and discover why elves are missing from the local Christmas shop. Jayne has no intention of ever leaving the North Pole, but she is enthusiastic about her new job since she has never really settled anywhere in the family's business.

Even though the mystery is not that hard to crack, this book is the definition of a cozy mystery. The characters are very likeable, and it is easy to root for Jayne Frost. This is a great read for when you feel like you don't want to think too much and just let your imagination travel to the weird town of Nocturne Falls and its interesting citizens.
