A festive cozy mystery with red herrings, cats, a little romance, and angels.
It’s Christmas. The streets of Snowflake Bay are paved with snow and the town centre tree has a wonky star. The residents are getting ready for the holiday, and the local toy store is turning their shop into a grotto for a visiting Santa. All is calm. Wren King is just getting over the events of the last book, and contemplating dating again, when Mrs. Claus is found murdered. Her death sends the community into shock, causing a whole family to rip itself apart. Can Wren and Fiona find out whodunnit before Christmas is completely ruined, or will the holiday killer strike again?
C. Farren is better known as paranormal fantasy author Cate Farren. She loves cats, coffee, and watching Drag Race.
I guess I should have read the synopsis before reading. I thought it was going to be about Santa's wife. LOL. So I was really confused from the get go and I couldn't separate the North Pole and Santa scence from this book, so I dnf.
This is a fun read with likable characters and an interesting plot. It had some serious editing problems, however, which drew me out of the story rather abruptly. If it can be edited properly, I would give it a higher rating.
Who killed Mrs. Claus and why??? Wren becomes cynical while trying to find the culprit, doesn’t she??? An island retreat sounds about right!!! I enjoyed this story and recommend the book.
I would have given 5 stars but the series is getting a little out of my comfort zone. I think everyone should live their best life however that is expressed but the romance part of this series is getting weird. It doesn't feel how a real person reacts or authentic.
