A charming heroine, a cat named Cindy Lou Who, and Christmas tree farm in Mistletoe, Maine—this Christmas cozy mystery “is guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit, no matter the time of year” (Vicki Delany, author of the Year Round Christmas Mysteries). When Holly White’s fiancé cancels their Christmas Eve wedding with less than two weeks to go, Holly heads home with a broken heart. Lucky for her, home in historic Mistletoe, Maine is magical during Christmastime—exactly what the doctor ordered. Except her plan to drown her troubles in peppermints and snickerdoodles is upended when local grinch and president of the Mistletoe Historical Society Margaret Fenwick is bludgeoned and left in the sleigh display at Reindeer Games, Holly’s family tree farm.When the murder weapon is revealed as one of the wooden stakes used to identify trees on the farm, Sheriff Evan Grey turns to Holly’s father, Bud, and the Reindeer Games staff. And it doesn’t help that Bud and the reindeer keeper were each seen arguing with Margaret just before her death. But Holly knows her father and is determined to exonerate him. The jingle bells are ringing, the clock is ticking, and if Holly doesn't watch out, she'll end up on Santa’s naughty list in Twelve Slays of Christmas, Jacqueline Frost’s jolly series debut.

"Cozy mysteries are one of my comfort reads, and this one had been sitting in my Kindle library for years. Since I was in the mood for something Holiday, it seemed to be a perfect fit
Pros: fun cast of characters in a town that sounds like a great place to live, especially around the holidays! Snow, reindeer, tree farms, and a whole street of kitchy mom and pop knick nack shops to get lost in!
The Not Necessarily Cons: Decent mystery albeit possibly slightly predictable. And while the law enforcement representative doesn't seem incompetent at this juncture, they also aren't exactly on the ball when it comes to asking the necessary questions around town in a timely manner, leaving the playing field open for nosey amature seluthing. It's always a risk with Cozies unfortunately, else there wouldn't be much of a genre to begin with, but it's still a little disappointing."
"Hallmark meets murder I loved every minute! "
