Egg Nog
Hens and homicides in a cozy slice of paradise.
Christmas in Hawaii with chickens!
Maika’i, Hawaii, might not have snow, but there’s plenty of Christmas Spirit as the whole town makes ornaments for the big contest at the Christmas Eve party. Saffron has concocted a delicious Egg Nog to share, Christmas Malasada flavors are back, and everyone is decking the halls.
But a sneaky Santa is on the loose at the Christmas party, giving gifts to the town’s residents that reveal old secrets and past crimes.
When Santa falls from the roof, it’s up to Saffron to determine whether it was an accident or a ho-ho-ho-homicide.

What a wonderful lot of fun as The Christmas Spirit spreads around MaiKa’i a small town in beautiful Hawaii. I wish it was a real town so I could move there … although there are an awful lot of murders! And where there is any mystery, especially murder, Saffron Skye, the town egg supplier and event planner, is eager to help solve it. Always a good mystery, and a beautiful island town of lovely people.

Super Christmas Read!
So far, this is my favorite book in the series. Except for the murder of the town villain, this book is the best of Christmas time and Christmas time. “All is calm, all is bright.”
I recommend this book for any time of the year, but right after Thanksgiving, when everyone is gone, during pre-Christmas sadness, or a sad Christmas night, may be the best times.
I’m going to read it sometimes when I’m sad, at any time of year.

My favourite so far ~
I’ve read all of the Aloha chickens series, and this is the most fun yet. Decent mystery, but Avari also excels in creating real people in her characters. A rare and lovely skill .

Very entertaining story
I love Hawaii and there are many descriptions of the flowers and the ocean, sandy beaches brilliant starry skies that are well done. The characters are well defined and interesting with a unique business .

Full of kindness
Town & people sound like a place many would like to live & be part of the kindness. The series keeps me hopeful & at a comfortable distance from the troubles plaguing this world. If we use kindness as a starting point, we all may make things better.😊

Find the Christmas Spirit
Any day of the year, you can find the Christmas Spirit in your heart. This delightful little holiday mystery will point you to what really matters... whether or not you are religious, and whether or not you believe in Santa Claus. Enjoy!

great Christmas book
These get better and better. Saffron solves another murder-the town shyster fell off the roof. I can’t wait for the next one.

Christmas Cheer
What more could one ask for at Christmas than the thing they want or need, but the spirit of the holiday is magical.
