I loved most everything about this book. You notice early on they only eat a certain type of food in the book until the last bit which I thought was great actually. :) The romance was decent and the characters and town sounded so lovely. :) I thought for SURE I knew who did it, but I was wrong... as usual hehe. I'm terrible at solving mysteries. :)
The reason I'm giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because I got tired of how the case was handled by the sheriff so nonchalantly yet "serious" at the same time. Though to be fair, I don't think it would have made such a cute story otherwise. <3

What a Fun Christmas Mystery!! This is a great fun Christmas story. I enjoy the characters and the story line. It reminds me of Hallmark Mystery Movie. I would recommend the book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one.

This was a fun cozy mystery! I enjoyed it, but I don't think it is anything that will stick with me over time, but it was a fun quick read!

For me this book got off to a slow start as it ventured a hair too closely to being too cutesy for words. Set in a town called Mistletoe during the days leading up to Christmas there is so much sweetness initially but eventually settles into a fairly standard cozy mystery with some characters that are fun to spend time with.

What a great first book in this series. I like all the characters. Holly & the sheriff will hopefully have a romance. I seem to like sleuths with potential law enforcement as a boyfriend. The tree farm was more than that with games & contests, a dance, gift shop, cafe. I could live there. I had a thought on the killer then changed my mind. Glad I did as I was right. Good mystery though. Great ending.
