Publisher's Summary

Filled with holiday charm and perfect for fans of Leslie Meier, Jacqueline Frost's charming series debut Twelve Slays of Christmas is set at a Christmas tree farm when the jolliest time of the year turns deadly.

When Holly White's fiancé cancels their Christmas Eve wedding with less than two weeks to go, Holly heads home with a broken heart. Lucky for her, home in historic Mistletoe, Maine is magical during Christmastime - exactly what the doctor prescribed. Except her plan to drown her troubles in peppermints and snickerdoodles is upended when local grouch and president of the Mistletoe Historical Society, Margaret Fenwick, is bludgeoned and left in the sleigh display at Reindeer Games, Holly's family tree farm.

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.

Uninspiring lead character involved in a boring mystery with nothing at stake.

I wish that authors of cozy Christmas mysteries would do more research into the areas they set their stories. They also shouldn’t include horses, sleighs, reindeer, or tree farms unless they actually know what they’re taking about. Watching a Christmas Hallmark about a tree farm isn’t research. The whole plot felt made up as it went along and the mystery part went nowhere. The climax was cringey and induced a lot of eye rolling.

Nancy Drew type of story, good Christmas mystery.

Good characters, narration was decent. Well plotted gentle thriller, bit of a twist. Looking forward to the next book in series.

Way too cheesy for me

If Hallmark were to make a murder mystery. Way too cheesy / typical for me. Good for teens I guess
