Nice off season addition to this Christmas town series. The author got me with who the murder was. Nice job

This cozy mystery manages to hit all the right vibes for this genre. Between baking delights, a haunted house. a murder with plenty of suspects and a few cute dogs to add to the story, this was a charming read. I hadn’t realised this was book 7 in a series of 7 (so far) but the author managed to catch up the details on most of the background which as a new reader was helpful. If i’d been a regular reader though, I may have found this frustrating, so the intended audience matters. I haven’t read many cozy mysteries but this one left me satisfied with the result and wanting to watch for future books by Vicky Delany. Lots of interesting characters to be found in this Christmas town which added to the charm of the novel. Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for letting me read a review copy.
