The latest mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Crowned and Moldering. Someone's been slayed! If contractor Shannon Hammer can't nail the real culprit in the St. Nick of time, her dad will wind up in the clink... Even at Christmastime, Shannon is more spackle than sparkle, which is why she leaps at the chance to transform a grand old Victorian mansion into ten charming apartments for homeless families. Filled with the spirit of the season, all of Lighthouse Cove turns out to help including her best friends, a troupe of far-from-angelic Santa Claus impersonators, and her father, Jack. But their merriment is soon dashed by a heated scuffle between Jack and the miserly president of the bank who s backing the project. When the man is murdered, all eyes are on Jack, and visions of prison time dance in Shannon's head. Now, she needs to pull off a crime-solving miracle, before her father s Christmas goose is cooked "

Cozy Mysteries are an Indulgence for me and this is a new series to me. I read two of her books now and I have to admit I'm really enjoying them 😁 this book takes place at the holidays and of course there is a murder mystery going on but, there's also a lot of feel good good deeds going on in this book and a bit of romance as well.

I'm reading outside this morning. It's such a lovely day. #outside #outsidereading Stayed up a little late to finish Queen of Shadows last night. I liked how it ended but I'm still going to take a one or two book break before the next one.

#TBRtemptation post! #Cozymystery edition. #Christmas edition. The Fixer-Upper Mystery series sounds like something on HGTV or similar to shows like "This Old House" (you know how many projects I've watched and never did?! ???. Anyway...) A town called Lighthouse Cove. A large Victorian mansion. And muurrder! Right before Christmas, no less! With someone framed of course. C'mooon, you know you want this one ???. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

CoffeeAndABook How on earth did you ever guess??? 😮 7y

Mehso-so

The third "High End Finish" mystery is disappointing compared to the two earlier books. Some of the appeal is lost under the weight of 'set pieces' that may add to a larger overall plot but felt rather crowbarred in here. Also, at least one of the mysteries was was far too obvious. That all said, I'll still be reading the next one once available in the hope of a return to form.
