MY THOUGHTS
The mystery was a good one. The town’s special holiday tree was stolen! Since it’s the tallest and biggest tree in the area, there are lots of questions. How was it moved without being seen? Why would someone steal it? And most importantly, who did it? Who would do such a thing? I had my suspicions but wasn’t a hundred percent sure.
If you’re new to this series, this standalone short story is the perfect way to get a quick peek into this world and its characters. If you’re a fan of quirky cozy mysteries, give it a try! I loved it!
FOUR STARS
I really need to try this series this year. My library has almost all of the books, and knowing how much you love them makes me fairly certain I'd like them, too. :D
ReplyDeleteThat makes me so happy! I hope you love them! They're fun, whimsical, and a little weird, lol. :D
