"I liked her."
"You were close?"
"Not at all. Which is probably why I liked her. People are generally less likeable the more you get to know them. I certainly am." She sipped her drink. "I can look forward to disliking you, I'm sure."

Clearly I would be a terrible detective because I never guess the murderer correctly 😅

Normally I don’t like Christmas specials but this was fun! It felt a lot more plausible than his previous installment and I’m looking forward to the next in the series!

It's so hard to rate these short stories!

This was a fast paced murder mystery that gave me Clue vibes. This is my first book by this author and at first I was unsure of the writing style. But I'm glad I stuck it out, I really enjoyed this who-dun-it.

I will definitely read his other books. Perfect start to my Christmas mystery/thriller journey.
