The Notorious Noel Caper (Sandy Fairfax Teen Idol Mysteries)
by Sally Carpenter
The mystery is well written and well-paced with more than its share of dead ends and red herrings, but it ended satisfactorily despite the fact that I really hoped the big bad would have been someone else. This definitely wet my whistle enough to think about checking out the rest of the series

It’s Christmastime in Tinsel Town, and there’s plenty of ho-ho-homicide at the soon-to-open Santa’s Magic theme park, where bodies are dropping like snowflakes. Former pop star Sandy Fairfax has a killer job—he’s the emcee for the televised Miss North Pole beauty contest–er, scholarship pageant. But will the beautiful contestants make his girlfriend jealous? Or will she join him in his sleuthing? The deadly Christmas season begins at a celebrity bowling tournament when a pinsetter plops down a body instead of the pins. Throw in surfing Santas, a seductive executive’s wife, a sleazy tabloid editor, an egotistical movie rival and a gift-wrapped death trap, and it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
