When snowman Sam Shovel came to life this Christmas, he was hoping he'd manage to avoid getting sucked into another murder mystery as he hopped aboard the North Pole Express with his good friend, Kertas the Yule Lad.

But things start looking bleak when Sam meets a conductor no one else has seen, and then ends up melted, causing his memories to go even more slushy than usual.

With a cast of quirky characters both familiar and new, and Christmas traditions from around the world, prepare yourself for another rollicking Christmas ride in Murder on the North Pole Express.

"Intriguing and mysterious right through to the end. A worthy sequel to Death of a Christmas Tree Salesman! Meredith nails the vibe of the Christmas cozy mystery."

—Thomas Sanchez
