A Wonderful Christmas Crime by Jacqueline Frost - 5 Stars!


As Christmas descends on Mistletoe, Maine, Holly White has a new baby on the way. Her husband, Sheriff Evan Gray, has been worried about her blood pressure and Holly has agreed to take it easy. Being idle has never been one of Holly’s gifts, so when Evan surprises her with tickets to a progressive dinner, she thanks him. A thief tries to steal an antique ornament from the holiday display, but later, her dead body is found. Evan is less than jolly to find his wife at the scene of another homicide and asks her to leave the investigating to the police. Will Holly be able to stop the killer, and uncover the motive behind the attempted robbery, or will the killer strike again?
This is one of my favorite holiday cozy mystery series because it's full of wonderful characters, a jolly and happy environment, and a plot that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Holly is a great sleuth who tries to play by the rules especially with her husband, but she always has the need to find the killer. This is a holiday treat for anyone who loves a cozy mystery. Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Brooks for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
