Description

Who would guess that a simple Advent wreath would light the way to solving a Christmastide mystery in a small English village? Well, when Berdie Elliott—the local vicar's wife and former investigative reporter—gets the scent, anything can happen. Though Berdie's husband often disapproves, her divine gift of sorting truth from lies puts her in the stew. Along with her best friend, Lillie, Berdie unwraps far more than Christmas presents when an Advent gathering at the vicarage goes awry, and murder rocks the village. Lively newcomers, secret identities, a clandestine wedding, and a dissenting constable add to the adventure of unraveling the mystery that Berdie—to the delight of the entire village—finally ties up like a bright Christmas bow. Tea and biscuits anyone? Formerly released as Advent of a Mystery.

Not my usual with the religious story line, however, I love Christmas themed ones. I found this to be a fun, interesting read with enjoyable characters.

Candle For A Corpse Is a great Christmas mystery. Who doesn't like Christmas or mystery? This is one that takes you on a wild trip with berdie - who knows what she is doing since she was an investigative reporter. Now I must preface that telling you that her vicar husband is not at all happy with that part of her life - if he didn't like it why did he marry her? Ah well love. This story takes place in England-just an F.Y.I. So much happens here and the twists and huge turns it's so much fun - wonderful. I enjoyed the detective work by Lilly and Berdie and so will you.

Even if I'm not usually interested in christian themed book, I found this one lovely and entertaining.
A good cozy mystery with a warm Christmas theme and lovely character. The plot is interesting and kept me guessing.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher
