Overview
Story One: Amateur sleuths Drew Nance and his boon partner, Carl Keene, decide to celebrate Christmas with Drew's aunts Agatha and Christa. Things would be just fine if the ladies hadn't stepped outside on Christmas Eve. You see, Santa Claus has just been shot and killed and fell off their roof. Well, a man dressed as Santa with whom the ladies have a longstanding feud. And the police find one of them holding the smoking shotgun that killed him. Story Two: The men were on their way west to Colorado to see about finding a dog that has been playing two families, but they get a little sidetracked when Carl discovers a dead body in the ice cream freezer at a local megamart in Indianapolis. Drew can't keep himself from wanting to investigate despite the facts that the local police do not want him to, the employees of the store are all dead set against helping or even speaking with him, and a mysterious man seems to be training them. Of course, there is the incident where they get knocked out and shoved into the same freezer to die overnight. And the ambush set up by one employee who really has never been very helpful up to the point he suggests he can assist them. These two Drew Nance novellas, written totally tongue in cheek, are really mystery stories featuring a pair of amateur sleuths with strangely familiar names. For the price do not expect this to be another Poirot or Marple or Dupin experience, but they are entertaining, at least to the author.
