This is a good mystery novel with spurts of action.  It is a bit slow in between the spurts of action, but I got through it.  At about 2/3 of the way through the book, I was waiting for it to pick up again.I liked the couple as investigators, but found the constant deadhead references redundant.  Moreover, the marriage proposals only in jail were insincere.  You do not drag somebody down with you for the rest of their life while you sit in jail if you love them.The hired Santa assassin was a bit over the top as well as the fight scenes.  He seems to be one lucky used to be lawyer.  In addition, it is pretty obvious from the beginning who the real killer is.Nevertheless, it is an easy relaxing read with some dry humor, mystery, and a spattering of action and thrills.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
