Slay Bells and Satchels: a Haley Randolph Mystery (Volume 5) Dorothy Howell

It?s beginning to look a lot like?murder! The Summer Santa Sale at Holt?s Department Store becomes a Christmas nightmare when sales clerk Haley Randolph finds a murdered elf in the store?s giant toy bag. The police peg Haley, a fashion sleuth obsessed with designer handbags, as their prime suspect. She could find herself ?bagged? ? if she doesn?t untangle this mystery quicker than Saint Nick can slide down a chimney. Haley?s investigation takes her to the not-so-glam side of Hollywood when actresses portraying the store?s elves fall under suspicion. One of them gets her big break, while another can?t seem to catch a break. Haley is also on the trail of the fabulous Breathless handbag, and wondering if it will take a Christmas miracle to get boyfriend Ty Cameron to show up for the biggest party of the season. Hot private detective Jack Bishop needs her help with a case. But doing so just might land Haley on Santa?s ?naughty? list!
