DEATH OF A CHRISTMAS MITTEN KNITTER by LEE HOLLIS The church’s annual Christmas bazaar is a success until the local jeweler cries out that a valuable diamond ring has been stolen. Food writer Hayley Powell joins the search for it but discovers something more shocking—the dead body of a knitter with a homemade mitten stuffed in her mouth. Can Hayley unravel the mystery of Bar Harbor’s crafty killer before someone else receives a deadly gift?
TWO CHRISTMAS MITTENS by LYNN CAHOON Magic Springs, Idaho, is decked out in its sparkling best for the season, but Mia Malone is too busy to notice. Taking a second job at the Lodge to save Mia’s Morsels doesn’t leave her much time for festivities—until she finds a dead body near one red mitten outside the Lodge during the holiday party. Can Mia find the missing mitten and solve the murder before someone she loves becomes the next victim?
MURDEROUS MITTENS by MADDIE DAY A quiet Christmas in Colinas, California, at her twin sister’s charming B&B is exactly what Cece Barton needs. But the morning after an evening at the local wine bar, Cece learns that the bar’s proprietor, who sells mittens in her spare time, has been found dead. With her twin one of the main suspects, can Cece unmask the merry murderer?
This is a nice set of Christmas cozy mysteries. Personally, I liked Lee Hollis's mystery and the mystery by Maddie Day much better than I liked Lynn Cahoon's mystery. I felt that Lynn Cahoon's story was too focused on the magic and not the mystery. All of these stories had unique characters and challenging plots and as a fan of all these lovely writers I can't wait to read another one of their books again. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the opportunity of reading this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
