Stalking Around The Christmas Tree by Jacqueline Frost

5.0

---

This is the fourth installment in Christmas Tree Farm Mystery Series. In this one, the ballet has come to Mistletoe to perform the Nutcracker. When the ballerina cast as Clara is found dead in a blowup snow globe during the Christmas parade, Holly has to help her fiancé, Evan investigate, after all, their wedding is in a few days on Christmas Eve. This installment was very interesting and kept my attention throughout. I love the setting of this book. I mean who wouldn’t love a town called Mistletoe that is in Maine and celebrates Christmas in a huge way. Holly is a great main character and she really cares about her friends. I would love to live in a town like this and have a group of friends like Holly has. The plot of this one was believable and well thought out. I was left guessing up until the end as there were many suspects in this one. There are actually two mysteries in this one. Holly has to figure out who killed Tiffany the ballerina playing Clara, and she has to figure out who is stalking Libby, Evan’s sister. Holly is tenacious and never gives up. I really enjoy this series and cannot wait for more.
