When the murder weapon is revealed as one of the wooden stakes used to identify trees on the farm, Sheriff Evan Grey turns to Holly’s father, Bud, and the Reindeer Games staff. And it doesn’t help that Bud and the reindeer keeper were each seen arguing with Margaret just before her death. But Holly knows her father, and is determined to exonerate him.The jingle bells are ringing, the clock is ticking, and if Holly doesn't watch out, she'll end up on

Santa's naughty list in Twelve Slays of Christmas, Jacqueline Frost’s jolly series debut.

Cozy Mystery | First in a Series

Twelve Slays of Christmas is a festive who-dun-it ! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and look forward to many more books in the series. Who doesn't adore a Christmas themed novel? Especially when it takes place in such a magical place like Mistletoe, Maine! The setting truly felt real to me as the author did a wonderful job at describing just how homely this place is. The characters are what really make the book though and I loved Holly, her family, Cookie, and the dreamy Sheriff who will hopefully be striking up a romance with Holly. These two had electricity at their first meeting and while the book ISN'T a romance it's nice to watch these sweethearts fall for each other.

That being said, Twelve Slays of Christmas is the perfect start to the Christmas Tree Farm mystery series and I am crossing my fingers that Jacqueline Frost will write many more books in the series. As of now there are only two. I plan to read the next on before Christmas!

Why not curl up on a cold winters night and try this one out? I promise, you won't regret it! You'll enjoy the festivities that are taking place, the realistic and charming characters, and a who-dun-it that will SHOCK you in the end!
