Hark the Herald Angels Slay
Author: Vicki Delany
Rudolph, NY is celebrating its annual Christmas in July festivities in this 3rd book in the Year-Round Christmas Mystery series. To make things even more stressful for local shop owner Merry Wilkinson, a NYC Magazine crew is in town preparing a feature on Rudolph. Santa arrives by boat and it seems the merriment will go off without a hitch.....until.....
.....Merry discovers a dead body in her shop. And, he has been strangled with a strand of festive handcrafted cranberries.
I enjoyed this summer themed Christmas mystery. Light, entertaining reading. I'm currently fighting off a severe cold, so I was grateful to have something fun to read.
The plot kept my attention from start to finish and there were plenty of suspects. Amateur sleuthing was mixed in with local law enforcement doing their jobs skillfully.
As I get further into this series, I am enjoying the stories more. The characters and setting are growing on me. It does require the ability to suspend reality a bit and just enjoy a cute story. But, really, just about every cozy mystery novel requires that talent.
Brewing more hot tea, taking another dose of cold meds, and moving on to the next book in this series!
