Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this first in a series novel by the wonderful duo of Elle Cosimano and Hannah Morrissey, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by the cast of Angela Dawe, Colin Donnell, and Patti Murin. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Welcome to Christmas, a town so cozy and charming it could be the backdrop of a Hallmark movie, where crime is never in season and it’s the holidays all year round. So when a tourist is found stabbed to death by an icicle in the middle of the town nativity scene, the local police are out of their depth—after all, how do you find a criminal in a town where crime doesn't exist? Holly and Mark must solve the crime before the annual Jingle Bell Jubilee festival plus, whichever of them cracks the case will receive a promotion to Major Crimes—and there's only one spot.
This was just plain fun and I loved it - just the Christmas-themed names are worth the price of admission! I found myself laughing out loud throughout the book, and the audiobook narration just made it all the better. It's definitely a mystery, but on the lighter side due to all the Christmas shenanigans. It's a bit bawdy and I can only imagine how much fun these two authors had writing this one. It's the first in a series, so I'm waiting for the next for sure!
