Real Elves: A Christmas Story (Emily Castles Mysteries Book 5)
REAL ELVES is a short Christmas story. In a department store in London, a little girl called Sophie visits Santa’s magical forest with her grandfather. As they emerge from the forest, Sophie’s grandfather reports her missing… but the little girl’s right there. Is she a ghost, a twin, an alien abductee—or is there some simpler explanation? Twenty-six-year-old amateur sleuth Emily Castles has fifteen minutes to figure out the puzzle before the police are called and Christmas is ruined.
This short mystery is a standalone story set in London. The Emily Castles mysteries can be read in any order.
