My Thoughts :

Another book from the Twelve Days of Killer Fiction and from an author I haven't visited in a long time.  I have read a few stories in the Sophie Katz books but I have to admit I am a little behind in the grand scheme of things.  This short story definitely made me wonder why I haven't been catching up with this great series.  Mystery and mayhem follow this interesting character and her family and friends are just as much fun as she is.

This Christmas based tale is a great read and I can highly recommend you adding this to your reading list even if you don't already know the series.  This novella doesn't give much away and it is a great way to give it a try before you invest in the full length books.  A cozy mystery with a humourous leading lady this is a series I really need to dust off and catch up with.

A super read for Christmas and one you can read during the year.  If you like cozies then this is for you.  If you are looking for a quick read to boost your reading goals for this year then get this and enjoy.  A great mystery and a super read.
