We are on book 16 and it is a doozy! If you are just getting started with the Mitzy Moon Mystery Series, I really encourage you to read them in order. You can, if you insist, read them as standalone but you will miss a lot. The mystery is solved every time. It the rest of the book where you would really enjoy these best in order.
Book 16 we find out more about Twiggy, including her name! I thought her name was Twiggy! I thought she was maybe named after the model from the 1960’s. It’s a nickname. I’m not telling anymore because you really need to read the book. The mystery totally involves Twiggy. There is another secret that comes out that left me picking up my jaw from the floor. This one though had me doing a little happy dance. You can discover that one on your own, too. Erick and Mitzy are moving along at a nice pace. You want to be sure to check in on that relationship too!
I honestly don’t know how Trixie Silvertale does it. Book number sixteen and the stories are still fresh, the mystery exciting and those surprises! It is really hard to come up with fresh interesting murders happening in a small town. I mean, really, how many folks can die suspiciously before you run out of townspeople who can either be victim or accused? Trixie Silvertale manages to do not only that, but to keep Pin Cherry Harbor a charming place you want to visit.
Grab this one for a fun and cozy escape during the holiday time that’s coming. ( )

This book is the perfect example of how Trixie keeps this series from getting stale. Just as we think we know the direction this series is going, Trixie tosses in a bombshell to shake it all up. This time it involves Mitzy’s family.

Mitzy Moon and her boyfriend Sheriff Harper are out looking for a Christmas tree, and Mitzy, the corpse magnet, comes across a corpse. When her bookstore employee Twiggy becomes the prime suspect, Mitzy has to get involved.

After reading all 16 books in the series (and more to come), I now realize that while each book has a murder mystery, the main plotline has to do with the interrelationships of the characters. This is what makes this a truly heartwarming series.

“Carols and Yule Perils” marks an emotional turning point for several of the characters. There are so many significant events in this book that I may just have to read it again a second time. Dare I say that this is my favorite book in the series…

I received an Advance Review Copy of this book. All opinions are my own. ( )
