-From Amazon- A Historical Christmas Mystery When sabotage threatens the Rudin Sugar Factory, Detective Jasper Hollock believes this will be his first real case. But dear Mr. Rudin—the only father Jasper has ever known—holds a different assignment for his private investigator. “I’ve struck a deal with God, Jasper, and you’re my angel.” Mr. Rudin charges Jasper to build a “case” of reasons for his employer to continue his life. If he fails, Mr. Rudin will end it in suicide on Christmas night. As the incidents at the factory become life threatening, Jasper’s attempts at dissuading Mr. Rudin prove futile, and Jasper is left staring at the stark reality of his own soul. Time is ticking. Jasper must solve both cases by Christmas before Mr. Rudin, the company, and Jasper’s faith, are dragged to perdition. Will this be the Christmas Jasper truly discovers what makes life worth living?

Solve By Christmas is a slim book and I finished it pretty much in one sitting on a rather quiet afternoon. I was quite amused by the sometimes snarky banter between Jasper and several of the other characters. But it was the threads of hope and faith that Amber Schamel wove throughout Jasper's journey that caught my attention the most. Jasper may have thought he was trying to save Mr. Rudin's life but just maybe God has a few lessons for Mr. Jasper Hollock as well.
Fans of Christian historical fiction, who love a good cozy holiday mystery, will enjoy this young author's latest offering. So, go ahead an snag yourself a copy of Solve By Christmas and settle in with a good mug of hot cocoa...
