Jacqueline Frost

I discovered Jacqueline Frost when she first started her cozy mystery series set in Mistletoe, Maine. Holly White and her family own the Reindeer Games Christmas Tree farm where, each year, they host 12 days of games from snowball rolling to gingerbread blinging. All fun and games until someone gets killed. I accidentally listened to Twelve Slays of Christmas, the first in the series, but it seems I never recorded it in LT. I didn’t remember the murderer right away and it was good to get reacquainted with the characters.

I am listening to the fourth book, Stalking Around the Christmas Tree, right now and Frost openly admits, via Holly, that the plots are pretty much the same: a murder, Holly gets involved, Holly gets warnings, Holly almost gets killed and the good-looking sheriff saves her. Hmmm…wonder if Hallmark Channel knows about these. Perfect cozy mysteries and I look forward to the new one each year.… (mere)

Stalking Around the Christmas Tree by Jacqueline Frost was the first installment of the Christmas Tree Farm mysteries and an annual listening for me. These are classic cozy mysteries set in Mistletoe, Maine, a quaint town full of quirky characters who host tourists every Christmas who come to play Reindeer Games. Holly White and her parents run the farm and the old inn as well as the games. And, Holly gets involved in the mysteries. This one was a worthy addition to the series and seemed somewhat final. So...we shall see.… (mere)
