I finished this book with a shorter time than the first two from this series. I could not put it down since I was adamant to know what will happen next. To be honest, I was not able to guess who the culprit was, but I still found the resolution satisfying. 🫡

Wit and fun will always be a part of Benjamin Stevenson's books so this one's not an exception. This book is also similar from the other two in terms of pace—it's slow at first and then at 80% the thrill will come rushing in. That's how crime thrillers work, right? 😉 

What's new for me is the combination of magic and holiday cheer that it gave me so many things to look forward to. It also tickled my imagination since there were so many tricks as the story progressed (like, nobody prepared me for those tricks). This book did not disappoint, eventhough I found myself wondering as between chapters, was it possible?
