The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews
3.0
Book on CD read by Kathleen McInerney
Ivy Perkins is newly divorced and struggling to launch an independent PR / marketing firm. Trying to get away from her ex (and her ex-best-friend), she buys an old farmstead sight unseen. The to-do list grows ever larger as her bank account dwindles. But she has a hunk of a real-estate agent, who is also a very handy man when it comes to fixing things. When she finds a vintage Santa suit in a closet, she begins researching the previous owners, and especially trying to find what happened to the little girl who wrote the note tucked in a pocket of the suit.
This is a charming holiday rom-com with a bit of mystery. The small town is full of colorful characters, and as Ivy begins to become known around town she opens up to her new friends and to the possibility of a new romance.
The ending is neatly tied up in a pretty ribbon, but hey, it’s a holiday romance, so I’m okay with that. I was a bit disappointed that the storyline regarding the candy company – also related to Ivy’s getting her own marketing firm going – fizzled out. I wanted to know more about both Ivy’s and Nancy’s success.
Kathleen McInerney does a find job of narrating the audiobook.
