I found this Christmas Cozy Mystery Novella at my library in audio form. I love to listen to audiobooks when I have things to do, and that always seems to be the case. :) This was my first Charlie Parker book and I found it quick and entertaining. I can see that it would be a fun series for cozy mystery fans to read from the beginning. ( )

This slim volume, 148 pages, focuses on Christmas in New Mexico when Charlie’s mother-in-law Catherine’s comes for a surprise visit. Judy’s colorful mother-in-law is murdered and the Albuquerque Police Department arrests Judy, Charlie puts her own life at risk to find the killer. The fast-paced plot includes two recipes.

I received this book through a random giveaway. Although encouraged as a courtesy to provide feedback, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really loved this short Holiday story about families - and a homicide. The author also includes 2 fabulous recipes! ( )

This is a great, easy to read novella. I love mysteries and this was a good one. I only wished the book was longer!!
It’s Christmas time and Charlie Parker is getting ready for the fabulous Christmas time in New Mexico. The area she lives in decorates everything so she’s doing that and getting ready for a visit from her mother-in-law when there is a murder next door. Of course, Charlies must help get to the bottom of the murder. It has a lot of twists and turns and it’s a great quick read. ( )
