I like to read a Christmas cozy around this time of year, so what's better than going back to Rudolph, New York where it's Christmas all year long? in this latest episode it's near the end of July during a steaming hot summer, but Rudolph is having its annual Christmas in July festivities. Even Santa will be there, but he'll be on a boat, not a sleigh and you'll probably find him on the golf course instead of anywhere near his workshop. Merry is busy getting her shop ready for the July festivities. Mrs. Claus's Treasures has never looked so good, until foul murder is committed on the premises. Unfortunatel, Merry has a connection to the murder victim He was her boyfriend before she left the big city a year ago to move back home and become a shop owner. We meet all sorts of different people in town for the festival, but people from the magazine where Merry worked are the least welcome to her. This is a fun little cozy, and it sort of suits the season even though it's set in July instead of December. Best character in the book - Merry's St. Bernard puppy whose name is Matterhorn (Mattie) for short. Dogs and Christmas and murder - what a deightful combination! Perfect reading to pass the time on a long plane ride. Revisiting Rudolph, New York in the summertime was a lot of fun. It was interesting to see how the town, dependent on year round holiday tourism, spins the Santa story for a Christmas in July event. People from Merry's past life in the city arrive in town to cover the event, murder and suspicion follow. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Santa's summer vacation plans turn deadly in this festive mystery from the author of Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen and We Wish You a Murderous Christmas. The town of Rudolph, New York, has the Christmas spirit all year long-but when homicide heats up a summer holiday, it's up to shop owner Merry Wilkinson to wrap up the case. In Rudolph, Christmas in July heralds Santa's arrival by boat to begin his summer vacation at the lake, and Merry Wilkinson, owner of Mrs. Claus's Treasures, is looking forward to a busy weekend. But she's caught off guard when her ex-fiance, Max Folger, unexpectedly arrives with a team from a lifestyle magazine wanting to do a feature on the July festivities. It's clear that Max's visit has less to do with business and more to do with winning back Merry's heart. Merry has too much on her plate to deal with an old flame, but when Max is found strangled to death in Mrs. Claus's Treasures, she must find out who wanted him dead-and stop a killer from ruining the summer holiday cheer.

I really love this series. I’m huge on Christmas happening anytime. To quote from the book, “That Christmas magic. July or December—there’s nothing like it.” That happens to be my favorite quote from the book. I must say the author lives up to her quote. She brought Christmas magic to the pages of the book. Considering there was criminal activity including murder going on, that was no easy feat. I love the characters in this series. Merry and Vicky are the type of girlfriends you want to have, (or be). I love Merry’s Dad who I believe may really be Santa Claus. And Mattie...love at first slobber. The mystery was twisty and not obvious to me. I’m not saying more on that. Read it yourself. The town was fun with a great cast of characters; some easy to like, others take a bit of sugar to get down. I love the small town feel of the series.
Get the book and bring some Christmas magic. I read this with Christmas lights on, carols on the playlist and hot chocolate with cookies to snack on. All the dead and the danger were in the book. It was a lovely Christmas in July. ( )
