A cryptic invitation.
A trip to Mistletoe Manor.
A Christmas snowstorm.
And a puzzling locked room disappearance.
It's up to Maggie Chase and fellow author, Ethan Wyatt, to solve this mystery.
First line: It wasn't until the elevator doors were sliding open that Maggie realized she was about to come face-to-face with her three lest favorite things in the world: Christmas. A party. And Ethan Freaking Wyatt.
My thoughts: This entertaining novel is a great combination of mystery and romance. And I loved it. There's fun banter, and lots of action and humor. Maggie is a very engaging character; she's clever and funny, but also vulnerable and alone. I liked how Ethan really saw her, and how he wanted to help her, and protect her. I enjoyed their swoony kisses, too. They made a great team (even though she saw him as her nemesis at the beginning of the book). And the mystery was very Christie-esque. If you want a fun holiday mystery/romance, check this book out.
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy Reading!
It feels like I have been on the library forever for this! It's obviously a popular book, and I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteLark, I'm so glad you read this and told about it! I have been considering it this month and now I know I will try it as my next book. Well, I might read my mystery book group's January selection and then this one. Anyway, what a great first line. Love it!
