Mistletoe Murders

Emily Lane runs a small, friendly Christmas shop in Fletcher's Grove, a place that feels like a holiday memory for everyone who walks in. Beneath the cheerful facade, she carries a history she rarely mentions. When a series of brutal deaths begins to strike the town, Emily finds herself drawn to the investigations, using skills from her enigmatic past to notice patterns others miss. She teams up with Detective Sam Wilner, a man who values facts and kindness in equal measure. As their professional bond deepens, so does the sense that Emily may be keeping a more complicated truth about herself than anyone realizes. Her shop doubles as a sanctuary for locals who share gossip, rumors, and the occasional clue, making the town feel small yet layered.

Produced in 2024, Mistletoe Murders is a drama series created by Ken Cuperus. Sarah Drew stars as Emily Lane with Peter Mooney as Detective Sam Wilner, and Sierra Marilyn Riley as Violet Wilner; Kylee Evans and Jean Yoon co star. It balances mood with brisk pacing.
