At this time of year, I enjoy reading books that are just light easy reads. And this was a perfect short cozy mystery that is set during the Christmas season. I really enjoyed the main character, Emma Wild, and plan on reading more in this series. The author gave us a couple of suspects in the murder and I was going back and forth trying to make up my mind. The ending felt a bit rushed but I did enjoy this read.Looking for a fun Christmas cozy? This is a very good one that I recommend! This was a nice quick holiday book, set around Christmas time.

A pretty simple mystery, nothing very deep. It was ok.
