Caught in Christmas River

Christmas River #10.2

by Meg Muldoon

It's summertime in the cozy, charming town of Christmas River, and the living is as easy as marionberry pie. That is, until someone falls over the side of a cliff and another is shot outside of the town's general store. 

Mischief and mayhem abound in the two novellas in this collection perfect for the easy breezy carefree days of summer. Featuring: 

Mystery at Agate Inn 
A romantic vacation to a cozy inn on the Oregon Coast turns deadly for Cinnamon and Daniel when one of the other guests takes a tumble off the side of a cliff. 
But was it really an accident?
Cin and Daniel play detective in this delightful seaside whodunit! Featuring Cin and Daniel on vacation for the very first time! 

Warren & The Sparks Lake Mystery 
It's 1951 in Christmas River and Warren Peters has had a tough week. He's failing English class, the girl he's secretly in love with doesn't even know he exists, and his after school job at the Sparks Lake General Store has been slow and boring. 
But when a serious crime takes place in Christmas River and it hits a little too close to home, Warren finds himself pulled into a perplexing mystery that will take all his wit to get out of alive. 
A truly heartwarming coming of age tale based on one of the most beloved characters from the Christmas River Cozy Mystery Series... 

This collection also includes recipes, a short story, and a BONUS excerpt from the upcoming book, Mistake in Christmas River: A Christmas Cozy Mystery (Book 11)!

[Madeline · Rating 4 out of 5]

Three novellas.

These stories exceeded my expectations!

A new view from some very familiar characters.

3 in 1 stories

A good read. Okay I would have just preferred 1 but each was different and each had a different main character. The stories ranged from the supernatural to tales of deceit and infidelity be each was wrapped up in a few pages with some unexpected results. The characters though are all linked whether by family or friendship ties and if you loved the Christmas River cozies then it is like revisiting old friends and having a greater insight into them and their characters.

Fun collection of short stories

Another great book from Miss Muldoon! Loved the first short story and also loved reading some background of Warren, Cinnamon's grandpa. Also love returning to Christmas River!

Triple Play

Three short novels, giving insight into the characters of Kara and Warren, as well as Cin & Daniel away from their usual activities.

Great backstory for some of the characters in Christmas River. Enjoyed it from start to finish.

[Amy Rosenkoetter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun collection! I really enjoyed finding out about a couple of Cinnamon's sidekicks, particularly her wonderful grandfather, Warren and some of his history.

[Carrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked that they were short stories and you learn a little bit more of each character. Very easy read and fast.

[Claudia Ainsworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great quick read

I enjoyed the three different stories. I especially enjoyed the story about Warren. Going back to a time in his past was interesting.
