As his status sinks, others are pulled under with him-people Fred loves.Precarious Pasta: Book FourteenWhen Fred and Leo's date at the romantic restaurant, Pasta Thyme, leads to an invitation of a murder scene, instead of ghouls and goblins, Fred is haunted by ghosts from the past. Death might lurk around every corner as Fred investigates motives of infidelity, jealousy, and the dark shadow cast by a crime syndicate. Evil Elves: Book FifteenEstes Park's new Christmas store is chosen to receive exclusive rights to sell a much-coveted collection of tiny elf figurines, but not everyone is thrilled, especially not the owner of the original Christmas shop.

However, when nightly break-ins begin to occur, Santa himself is caught in the act, Fred and Watson are pulled away from the bookshop to investigate the holiday mayhem.(This anthology includes a recipe for delectable empanadas, tiramisu, and fruitcake.)
