This book was fun to read, but it lacked the follow through I was hoping for in a mystery novel of this type. Also, not the most Christmas-y, if that’s what you’re hoping for.

This is the perfect cozy Christmas murder mystery. As usual, Christie creates such characters that are all too familiar or are varied and on the nose. Curl up with a hot beverage, a warm blanket and enjoy.
