Really liked this story, and Holly and Evan are great together. I like how Holly gets along with her parents and the customers, and although she is asking questions and getting someone angry enough to threaten her, she is not really trying to play detective. Sometimes it gets irritating when the characters try to take over the polices' job, but that is not what is happening here. The only thing that would have made the book better would have been a few recipes. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book, and sincerely hope there is another one coming in the series.

Holly White returns home to historic Mistletoe, Maine after a nasty break up with her fiancee...just before the wedding was to be held in her home town.
Historical Society Margaret Fenwick is murdered on her family's Christmas tree farm at the season opening celebration with the stakes her father had made to mark the different tree types.
She feels compelled to find the murderer to take the pall off the holiday...who wants to shop where the sellers are suspects? She asks questions and is threatened and the hunky sheriff keeps asking her to stop...for her own safety....she tries and is put in danger several times, but stumbles into the correct answer and only avoids her own murder by her quick thinking.
I requested and received an ARC from NetGalley and will await the rest of this series impatiently.

Since I'm allergic to Christmas Trees, what better way to live vicariously than through this series.and this book is just the type to put you in a holiday mood. Very enjoyable and it will be interesting to see what this series comes up with in the future.

I'm not sure which I enjoyed better, the book cover or the author's name.
Who could resist a holiday cozy mystery written by Jacqueline Frost.
Holly White returns home with heartbreaking information.
Luckily for Holly, she lives in Mistletoe, Maine and she is returning home for the holidays.
Returning to the family Christmas tree farm just in time for Reindeer Games is just what Holly needs.

What she doesn't need is finding the body of a local historian, in the family barn, in a sleigh. The weapon? Something that puts Holly's family in the spotlight.

Will Holly have time to find evidence linking someone else to the crime?
