This one felt a little rushed and perfunctory but the Christmas revelry setting was fun.

A wonderful novella set in the Lilywhite Boys world. I would've loved it regardless, but Jerry's cameo made it even more delightful.
Also Susan? A BABY?! God I love it.

I decided to read this because I like Charles' writing but I've never read the Lilywhite Boys series because the synopsis didn't really interest me. I think, while this does read as a standalone, I would have appreciated this more if I had read and enjoyed that series first. It could also be because it's so short, but it didn't feel like the author's best work and none of the characters really resonated or were memorable.
Definitely read this if you've already read the Lilywhite Boys series but otherwise skip it.

Bumping up to 4 for the presence of my book boyfriend [Redacted] who is so magnetic and effortlessly menacing that he would take over if not contained. Happy sigh. An excellent story of second chances and hard-won redemption, with the enjoyment of plotting a villain’s downfall.

I love this author. A delightful little novella with a fun mystery and great MCs.

A fun short(er) story that shows the other side of the law.
