Review: Mistletoe and Mayhem (Red Truck Mysteries Book 3) by Janice Thompson

About the Book
A Wildfire Races toward the Hadley Ranch

Breathe in the nostalgia of everything old red truck in book three of a new cozy mystery series.

It’s less than a week until Christmas in Mabank, Texas, and just a few days away from RaeLyn and Mason’s wedding on Hadley ranch. Unfortunately, a wildfire with mysterious origin is rapidly traveling across several counties and headed right for the Hadley acreage. Fire fighters rush to put it out before the family homestead goes up in flames, taking the business and the old red truck with it. Their perfect wedding may be ruined, and RaeLyn and Mason are determined to find the source of the fire.


MY THOUGHTS

I enjoyed this third installment of the Red Truck Mysteries. It’s always a joy to take a trip to Mabank, Texas, and see what the Hadley family is up to these days.

It’s wedding time for RaeLynn and Mason, but a wildfire threatens not only their upcoming nuptials but the Hadley family ranch as well. Questions swirl about whether the fire was naturally occurring or man-made.

This was a lighter cozy mystery that focused more on family dynamics and wedding planning. So while it was slower paced, it was still an enjoyable and comforting read.

It always feels like coming home when I pick up a Janice Thompson book. And the Hadleys feel like they’d fit right into my own family. If you’re looking for a lighter cozy mystery with small-town vibes and down-home characters, you’ll enjoy this series.

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

FOUR STARS
