Very charming sleuth who had great chemistry with the sheriff character. The mystery was satisfying enough but I thought there was a better candidate. Enjoyed the Christmas games and the focus on family, it would make a great Hallmark movie. Definitely going to check out the next one.

I wasn't in the mood for it at the time. May come back to it at some point.

This is a very nice light holiday murder mystery. Low stakes but still has a plot, definitely cozy.

False advertising, there was only one slay. This is a cozy Christmas mystery that will make you crave some hot chocolate! If you like a Hallmark Christmas movie but wish it had a murder mystery…this is for you. While it was a bit silly it does get a bonus point for having a realistic portrayal of the “amateur sleuth” actually being impacted by the murder, mentally.
