So… I went into this book not expecting much, but HOLY CHRISTMAS COOKIES, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! 🎄🔪

After discovering her ex cheating on her, Kelsey heads to Christmasville for a fresh start and a new job. But apparently, the town has more to offer than holiday cheer because shortly after she arrives, people start dropping like ornaments off a Christmas tree. Accidents? Or is something much more sinister happening in this picture-perfect Christmas town?

Kim Harrington introduces us to an INCREDIBLE cast of characters, and I’m seriously hoping there’s a series in the making because I would 100% pack my bags and head back to Christmasville!

This book checked SO MANY of my cozy mystery boxes: amateur sleuth? Check. A little romance and a potential love triangle? Check. Quirky characters, witty banter, red herrings, small-town charm, and CHRISTMAS VIBES? Check, check, CHECK! And can we talk about the attention to detail?! Harrington clearly put thought into the little things, and I absolutely appreciated it.

E.J. Lavery’s narration was fantastic! She brought the characters and Christmasville to life, making an already entertaining mystery that much more enjoyable. I was genuinely shocked to see how few titles she has listed on Audible. Authors… HIRE THIS WOMAN! She’s great!

Now, I will admit that I was sort of hoping the killer would turn out to be someone a little closer to home for Kelsey. BUT I loved how everything played out, especially where we left all of our characters. It was such a satisfying conclusion!

Seriously, if you love cozy mysteries with a festive twist, a little romance, and a whole lot of personality, ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR CHRISTMAS TBR! 🎅🏻
