I love stories where someone has to save Christmas, and this cozy mystery delivers! Stalking Around the Christmas Tree by Jacqueline Frost is the fourth book in the Christmas Tree Farm mystery series. An entertaining read until the final page, this is certainly a book to add to your Christmas reading list.
Meet Holly. She lives in Mistletoe, Maine and runs the local inn. Her family owns Reindeer Games Tree Farm, Hearth Cage, and the Inn she runs. The inn is booked for the holiday, and her Christmas Eve wedding to the local sheriff is approaching.
The state’s ballet company is staying at the inn in Mistletoe for several performances of The Nutcracker. During the parade, the lead ballerina with hidden secrets winds up dead on a float with the Rat King’s mask nearby. Will Holly be able to spruce up her sleuthing skills and catch the killer before Christmas and her wedding day?
Frost brings readers in with a winter setting, a clever plot, and beguiling characters. I was intrigued by the character development throughout the novel and cannot wait to see what Holly experiences in the rest of the series. I highly recommend it to readers who love a cozy mystery, especially a Christmas one. I cannot wait to get my hands on the series, especially book four, and pull a reread to get me in the holiday spirit.
Thank you to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
