An English cozy to put you in the Christmas spirit. Set in a hotel on the southern seacoast during Edwardian times. A few red herrings and a spot of romance, but nothing sappy. "Met with bright crimson ribbons, boughs of holly, and wreaths of lush green fir adorning the staircase, not to mention the graceful Christmas tree glowing with white lace angels and silver balls, one was immediately engulfed in the best of the Edwardian Christmas spirit. A tantalizing aroma of spicy boiled Christmas puddings, tangy mince pies, and roasting chestnuts lured the visitor deeper into the hallways..." The cozy mystery fan will be lured as well!

Another fantastic and engrossing Pennyfoot Christmas mystery. I love all of the characters and look forward to seeing what situations will be presented in each of the coming novels.
Mistletoe and Mayhem, picks up a year later from the last book. Jumping right into a murder of two of the Pennyfoot servants. More murders occur throughout and it would seem a serial killer has come from London, bringing horror all the way to Badgers End.
The biggest surprise was the possibility that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was staying at the Pennyfoot, though he stays incognito and is withdrawn. It was fun to think that he had made an appearance in the book. Another big surprise is that Gertie's Dan, has finally asked her something she has waited so long to hear. What happens is quiet unexpected. I hope she and Clive can get together in the future. Lots of action to keep you on the edge of your Christmas seat.
I love these books and highly recommend them.
