Exceptionalthe perfect holiday entertainment. Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW This Christmas season, travel to the North Pole youve never seen beforewhere Santas new wife, April Claus, is not only set on creating the perfect holidayshes also set on solving the perfect crime Love is full of surprisesthough few compare to realizing that youre marrying the real-life Santa. April Claus dearly loves her new husband, Nick, but adjusting to life in the North Pole is not all sugarplums and candy canes. Especially when a cantankerous elf named Giblet Hollyberry is killedfelled by a black widow spider in his stockingshortly after publicly arguing with Nick. Christmastown is hardly a hotbed of crime, aside from mishaps caused by too much eggnog, but April disagrees with Constable Crinkles verdict of accidental death. As April sets out to find the culprit, itll mean putting the future of Christmas on the lineand hoping her own name isnt on a lethal naughty list . . .

I love a good cozy mystery. Even more I love a quirky cozy mystery. This one was quirky. And at times funny. Book 8 of the year.

#FirstLineFridays

The strange occurrences that threatened to upend my marriage, my adopted city, and the potential happiness of tens of millions of children started on a December morning just nine days before Christmas with a frantic pounding on our bedchamber door.

Another from my Christmas Stack.

I enjoyed Santaland setting and I'm definitely on board for more Holiday mysteries in this Series.

My only complaint was for Nick and April having such a whirlwind romance and marrying quickly, they seemed to have very little chemistry as a couple. Maybe because some people don't want to see Santa and Mrs Claus being affectionate?

After reading about April's famous Cloudberry Blondies in this book, I decided I just needed to know what the heck a blondie was. So I looked up a recipe this morning and tried it out. Turns out, I love blondies! Thank you, Mrs. Claus 🤶🏼

LiteraryinPA Those look delicious! 3y
ShyBookOwl @LiteraryinLawrence Thx! They are sooo chewy. I'm very pleased! 3y

I picked this one for one of the bookstore's book clubs, and thankfully it was well received! It made for a great discussion, there are lots of details and world building and SO MANY CHARACTERS. We are all interested to see what book 2 will bring! #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders #HoldiayRead @Clwojick

Finally finished the last book on my first #BookSpinBingo card, which I'll hopefully paste later for points. Work and then book club tonight, but then just one more day before 3 days off (if I'm lucky). #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders @Clwojick 661pts

Love this book so much!! It was well written and fun and funny. I was definitely tired of reading Christmas books so the fact that I loved this one shows how good it is. The world is fabulous, the characters are great, the mystery is well done. The only disappointing thing is that it's not available on audio. But I loved reading it in print so even that didn't matter! Can't wait for the sequel. 26 pts #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders #HolidayRead

This was a totally adorable holiday cozy mystery. A few minor changes, and it could easily have been 5 stars. Once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. Mostly the setting, which was completely charming. I hope there will be more of these in the future.

I'd added the points for these but forgot to post the review, so no points for #wintergames for this post.

It's finally cold enough for a fire, so I'm getting cozy with this one this morning. It's cute so far. Talking reindeer. Wandering one-eyed snowmen. ⛄ Cantankerous elves. And...murder. (insert ominous music here)
