Mistletoe Mayhem by Jill Elizabeth Nelson

Excerpt: Silent Night, Deadly Night

At eleven-thirty on Tuesday night, two hours after the canned Santa Claus music had gone blessedly silent out on the street, a squeak, which sounded like rubber-sole shoes on tile, reached Tess Vance from the hallway outside her locked office door. She heard footsteps, almost rushed...sneaky.

She straightened from her computer keyboard and frowned. She knew the cadence of her brother's swift pace. He had the legs of a giraffe, and he didn't sneak. Neither did Sean Torrance.Those were the only two, besides Tess, who had keys to Admin. Ordinarily, Tess would have thought nothing about it, but after the death of a homeless woman, Carlotta, Vance Rescue Mission had tightened security. No one should be up here.
