This was a quick Christmas novella that can be read/listened to in one sitting. What a fun, little book of Christmas cheer with a side of murder! 

I listened to the audiobook as well as read along with the kindle edition and I enjoyed both. The audiobook had little side effects to bring the story to life and it was a fun add on.

I know it’s a novella, but there was 0 world & character building.

The ending was perfect.

At first I was like where was the mystery- we know right away what happens and who did it and it's sad bu I love that they wrap it up as a ghost story for the holidays. How the past haunts us.
