Christmas Under Threat (Unsolved Case Files Book 4)

When single father Patrick Craft discovers his son Tristan has been abducted, the nightmare is compounded by a chilling revelation: Tristan's mother was a victim of a cold case serial killer. Now Patrick is caught between multiple threats, including dangerous armed men and a mysterious figure who has been sending Tristan gifts and letters while posing as his deceased mother. To survive the holiday season, Patrick reluctantly teams up with private investigator Gemma Locke, who arrived in Noëlville to investigate the very same cold case. Together, they must unravel a web of deception before it claims another life.

At just over five hours, the runtime makes for a focused, propulsive listen, and Craden's character differentiation helps listeners track a cast navigating genuine danger across a snow-dusted small-town backdrop.
