Winter wasn't obvious in this book, but it was set near Christmas with the Secret Santa party.

Secret Santa[Secret Santa] / Andrew Shaffer]
3 stars

Lussi has been laid off of her publishing job for a while now and is having trouble finding another job. She was at a horror publisher (it’s the 1980s and horror is very popular!), but she is now interviewing for a position at a snooty high-brow publisher. The interviewer is quite rude, but had a heart attack (I think) at the end of the interview. When his son takes over the publishing company, he gives Lussi the job with the promise that she’ll find him the next Stephen King, in hopes that the company will be able to turn a profilt. But weird things are going on in this old building. And Lussi seems to be a target.

This was ok. Maybe a bit creepy, but I didn’t think all that much. It just wasn’t really all too exciting for me. I didn’t find the characters all that interesting, either. It was definitely 80s, though! There was a little bit of humour at the start, but I didn’t find the funny lasted throughout the book – at least it didn’t seem to for me.
