A Christmas of 2023 Comeback!
Sometimes a cozy getaway…
Can be murder.
Amateur sleuth, Nola Shepherd loves Christmas. This year, she, her family, and her boyfriend have rented a cabin for the holidays and are looking forward to a week of fun winter activities and relaxed, cozy evenings.

Their plans for happy holidays are shattered, however, when they discover that the owner of the resort has been murdered.

A winter storm is rolling in, and the police can’t get up the mountain road until it’s over…
Which also means that the roads are too dangerous for Nola and the gang to leave, leaving them stranded at a retreat where one of the other guests is a murderer.

Time and the weather are not on her side when Nola steps up to find the killer.
Can she freeze out the killer and solve the crime? Find out in this snow-covered Holiday Cozy Mystery!

A fun holiday short story

Nola and her husband are driving up to spend Christmas with her parents and her sister at a mountain resort. On the drive up a blizzard swoops in early and the roads are so bad they barely make it to the resort. When they get to the office they can barely see across the parking lot. They go to check in but could not find any staff however they do have a welcome package.in it are the keys the two cabins and a map showing where they are. They go and move their baggage into the cabins. From there the mystery deepens with several surprises. A fun read.

It was all fun and festive until the blizzard hit and right before that, a body was found in the main building of the mountain resort Nola and her family were staying at. The cabins sounded really cool, when there was power and heat of course. Maybe it was a Christmas miracle but everything was solved on Christmas Day so the guests could at least enjoy their stay again.

This was an enjoyable quick Christmas mystery. I like reading anything written by Patti Benning. She does a great job of setting up the plot and making you wonder who was responsible.
