About the author
L.C. Turner
65 books73 followersAs a child, L.C. thought she would either be a truck driver (thanks to Jerry Reed in Smokey and the Bandit) or work at Taco Bell (her favorite restaurant as a child). As she grew older, she realized her talents lay in other areas, and for the last several years has been a college professor teaching business and English.
Through all her career choices, she has continued to have a passion for writing stemming from childhood, where, as an only child, she developed a vivid imagination.
She is proud of her vast experiences in life from barrel racing, to being on the dance team for a semi-pro basketball team, to being a mom of 2 amazing kids.
She decided to follow her dream as an author in 2009 and has worked her way up to having 5 fans (maybe 6 now). She often tells her family and friends that no one is safe from his or her ventures slipping into her books. She lives in Indiana with her husband, kids and two very spoiled dogs.
L.C. previously published her cozy mysteries under Laina Turner.

Great stories! Well written, festive, and very important: clever.
The stories are all novellas, and sometimes novellas can be too fast, but Turner has developed these stories well! They were a joy to read.
Per story:
Mistletoe and Murder:
And enjoyable novella! Pres is back in Hunter’s Hollow to celebrate Christmas, and of course there’s a case! Well written and suspenseful! And very Christmassy.
Cookies and Crime:
I must say, this was a compelling murder mystery! Trixie is on a quest to find out the truth about a murder and a missing person. But she might be putting herself in danger… A fascinating case, and I hadn’t expected that outcome! The case was wrapped up nicely.
Christmas Caper:
A different kind of mystery: a sabotage mystery. A very enjoyable story! Written in a way that I really felt like I was there. Olivia is asked to investigate what seems to be an accident… but things get mighty dangerous along the way!
Holiday Lights Out:
A murder-themed holiday! What a joy to read! I loved this story from start to finish. Well plotted and well thought out. I highly recommend it!

A little murder and mayhem! Who doesn’t look for a little of that for the Christmas holidays! 😀 These short stories are a quick, easy read. Three of them are part of ongoing series and give a nice introduction to the characters in each of those series. Grab your favorite beverage, get cozy and spend a little time reading this Christmas collection.

Clean and cozy...well written, too
Each story within this collection was a real enjoyable read. A good introduction to an author I don't recall reading before. I plan to remedy that.
