pickJanuary 2025 Book #4
Book 2 in A Year Round Christmas Mysteries series. Read for #CBBC 2025 @Mommamanzi
I liked this book 2 better that the first one. Also predictable but we see more drama, town gossip with funny scenes, expected in cozy mysteries☺️I think I will try book 3⭐️
pickI read the previous one for #cbbc and wanted to continue the series. I‘m enjoying this cozy in an upstate NY town where Christmas Shops are year round. I enjoyed the mystery- it actually was not who I thought it would be and still made sense! The side characters are very lovable and the main character is fun!
pickI 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
pickA 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 ⬇️
pickHolly 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!
