“Colin Conway has written the most unusual hero I've come across in a long time. Both touching and sweet with a razor-sharp edge. This is not your grandma's cozy.” - Libby Klein, Author of the Poppy McAllister Mysteries

COZY MYSTERIES JUST GOT TOUGHER.

A man still in hiding. A Christmas heist. This is no time for fruitcake.

Ed Belmont works in a struggling Midwest mall. It isn’t the ideal place for a job, but he’s doing the best he can. Every day is an uphill battle since Ed dislikes children, holiday decorations, and Christmas music. But what’s a guy to do when he’s Santa Claus?

There’s a criminal lurking around town, and he’s dressed as jolly old Saint Nick. Unfortunately, the cops don’t have any leads until they stumble upon Ed. Now, the law is poking into his background, and it’s creating problems.

For Ed Belmont is a man with a secret that the U.S. Government has invested a lot to keep concealed. This is important since Ed’s enemies have chased him across the country in hopes of exacting their revenge.

Can Ed survive the week and leave the Santa suit behind? Or will the cops make sure he celebrates the holiday in jail?

A FAST AND FUNNY COZY MYSTERY THAT DOESN’T PULL ANY PUNCHES.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Colin Conway is the creator of the 509 Crime Stories, a series of novels set in Eastern Washington with revolving lead characters. They are standalone tales and can be read in any order.

He also created the Cozy Up series which pushes the envelope of the cozy genre. Libby Klein, author of the Poppy McAllister series, says Cozy Up to Death is “Not your grandma’s cozy.”

Colin co-authored the Charlie-316 series. The first novel in the series, Charlie-316, is a political/crime thriller that has been described as “riveting and compulsively readable,” “the real deal,” and “the ultimate ride-along.”

He served in the U.S. Army and later was an officer of the Spokane Police Department. He's owned a laundromat, invested in a bar, and ran a karate school. Besides writing crime fiction, he is a commercial real estate broker.

Colin lives with his beautiful girlfriend, three wonderful children, and a codependent Vizsla that rules their world.

Light cozy for Christmas

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

First one in the series that I have read. I like to be reading a Christmas book at Christmas but most have been dreadful. This was exactly what I wanted. A mystery but not violent and amusing. Well written. Decent characters who were not "sweet". Sitting on Santa's knee and listening to kids talk about what they want in the middle of a mystery. Will look for another in this series- definitely a cozy mystery.

Former biker gang member becomes a Santa

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

Well written and compelling. Not nearly as violent as the first book in the series. Ed (Beau) even does a good deed in spite of himself. If he wasn't such a grouch I'd have given this five stars.
As a mall Santa, poor Beau finds himself with children on his lap making some challenging requests for Christmas presents. At times he ponders the whole Santa Claus deception and his role in promoting it. Children can be very perceptive.
He also becomes a suspect in several robberies that take place around the small city of Utopia. Someone tries to frame him and he's determined to find out who.

What a great book! I enjoyed it from page 1 and always looked forward to when I could pick the book up and read again. Ed is such a likeable character. I really want to read the next book to find out where he ends up. PS Clean story.

Understated Humour Is Great

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

This author writes a very good story full of understated humour. I enjoyed Ed and the predicaments in which he found himself. It was enjoyable to watch the change in Ed as the storyline unfolded. The kids and the cat were nice addd touches.

This series gets better and better! Beau the ex biker bookkeeper is becoming more and more human. There is even a surly cat as a companion.
The author paints funny and all too accurate portraits of kids and golden agers.
I hope the anti-hero reunites with his lost love and grandmother soon after his recent good deed.

You’ve never met a Santa like this!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 10, 2021

Even if you’re not ready for Christmas yet, you’ll want to read this fifth book in the Cozy series!
This Santa is not what you’d expect and his interactions with the kids sitting on his knee are wonderfully witty, hilarious and heartfelt.
The characters are so realistic that you’ll feel you’re in the story with them. You’ll be irritated with them, or hate them, or just empathize with Santa because he has to put up with them.
Overall, an immensely enjoyable read!

A Very unusual storyline. I liked the way that the character changed in the run-up to Christmas Eve. The characters were interesting and slightly believable.

Light mystery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a light, clean mystery about a tough, cat-loving, gang member who is reluctantly stuck in the federal witness protection program. The feds relocate him from city to city as they try to stay a step ahead of the vengeful gang. In this story, he has a job as a mall Santa in a small town. He finds himself accused of a crime which occurred on mall property, and he has to use his street smarts to get himself out of the mess.

I liked the story. The guy finds himself exposed to things, like reading books and small children, that were not part of his former gang life. His thoughts as he deals with the children's Christmas wishes were entertaining.
