I’ll Be Home for Mischief (A Christmas Tree Farm Mystery)
The town of Mistletoe, Maine, is decked out for Christmas. It’s opted for a Victorian theme, with streets, shops, and townsfolk decked out in costumes and festive decorations. Holly and her family are at their farm preparing to get a record for baking the world’s largest gingerbread man. But the discovery of a body threatens to derail the Christmas spirit and any attempts to win a world record.
Holly can’t help but get involved, even though her husband, Evan, the local sheriff, has urged her not to meddle in his investigation. She just wants to protect her town from any harmful events. It doesn’t help that everyone is likely to give her information about those suspected of any wrongdoing in the town. Will she be able to spot a murderer before it’s too late? And will the community be able to pull off a Christmas miracle by winning an award?
This is a book for fans of Christmas stories. It’s well-written with memorable characters. However, I wasn’t crazy about the dedication to the Christmas theme that ran through almost every scene and page of the book. I did appreciate the focus on family, friends, and community.
