Welcome to Litsy!

I started this on audio- and could not get into it at all, but when i switched to reading I enjoyed it much better. The setting is Upstate NY and a year round Christmas Town- I thought that was funny because in College it felt like it snowed October until May in Utica NY. I liked the characters, was a little survey the killer and overall enjoyed the mystery.

This was the perfect cozy mystery for the end of the year and my pick for December for #12booksof2024

Thank you for hosting again this year @Andrew65 It is always so fun to see everyone‘s picks, even though it‘s horrible for trying to contain my TBR. I look forward to #12booksof2025

A perfectly capable sheriff is looking for the murderer, and once again our “curious” (aka nosy) main character cannot let him do his work, putting herself in dangerous situations that take away the sheriff‘s concentration. I like the stories and the writing, but I am put out by this repeat stupidity in book two of the series. I get it. Her best friend has been jailed for the crime. But the sheriff doesn‘t believe she did it either! She has ⬇️

Since I enjoyed the first book Twelve Slays of Christmas as one of my #SeasonalCozies picks, I decided to listen to the second too. This one takes place at Christmas time year later & it seems Holly is back in Mistletoe, Maine to stay & is renovating the family inn to make it a B&B. Her new besty gets accused of murder & Holly needs to clear her name. I liked this one & the characters & holiday town setting but ⬇️

Holly White, moving back to her parents‘ Christmas tree farm, can‘t keep her nose out of a murder mystery making her a target for the murderer. The best part of this cozy mystery is that the sheriff isn‘t a bumbling idiot who Holly must lead through the investigation (although Holly sort of is). And I liked the soft romantic undertones. Who has a strong enough motive to kill the elderly victim? That was troubling until it all came together. ⬇️

I just finished Twelve Slays and moving on to this one. And now I can appreciate Cindy on the cover!

1st book in the Christmas Tree Farm Mystery Series (#SeriesLove2024) and it was great. I enjoyed the town of Mistletoe, Maine and all its inhabitants. Holly return home to Mistletoe after her fiancé calls off the wedding, and comes back to herself and those she loves. The mystery was good, but I‘ll come back to the series for the town and the characters.
