Jingle and His Magnificent Seven by Randy Rawls
Oh, my goodness, how do I write a review for this
wonderfully hilarious and exciting book.
If I were going to put it into a
category it would humorous thriller. Yes, it is indeed a thriller, what else
could you call a book that is filled with mid-Eastern terrorists out to do
great harm?
However, when the main character, PI Nep Thomas, is challenged by
one of Santa’s elf’s to help recover Santa’s naught list that thanks to a bad
elf has offered to the terrorists. What possible use could terrorists have for
Santa’s naughty list? A very good one.
Though the premise may be a little
far-out, author Rawls has come up with some plausible explanations for all that
happens—and plenty does. The tale is filled with great characters, good, bad
and surprising, as well as the kind of action one expects in a thriller. To say
much more would spoil the joy of the surprises in this delightful book.
This is
a fun and enjoyable read, guaranteed to make you chuckle now and then and want
to keep turning pages. Highly recommended.

Here's Randy Rawls bio:
Randy Rawls was born and reared in Williamston, North Carolina, a
small town in the northeastern part of the state. From there, he says he
inherited a sense of responsibility, a belief in fair play, and a love of
country. As a career US Army officer, he had the opportunity to learn, travel,
teach, and hone talents inherited from his parents. Following retirement, he
worked in other ventures for the US Government. Every job has in some way been
fun. Even the dark days of Vietnam had their light moments, and he cherishes
the camaraderie that was an integral part of survival in that hostile world.
Today, he has short stories in several anthologies, and a growing
list of novels to his credit. As a prolific reader, the reads across several
genres and takes that into his writing. He has written mysteries, thrillers, an
historical, and two fantasy/mystery/thrillers featuring a Santa Elf. The count
is now at fourteen and growing. He is a regular contributor to Happy Homicides,
a twice annual anthology of cozy short stories. He also has a series of short
stories featuring a cattle-herding burro. Wherever his imagination will take
him, he follows.
