I loved this. The alternating chapters, with each one focused on one of the four sisters or their adoptive mother, were done really well. I love a good character driven story, and in this we get five wonderful character studies. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author.

“Why would I want a bite of your burger? I have my own.”

“Sorry, I‘m not used to having food all to myself.”

Every mother can relate!

The last story in Let It Snow. The main character has no redeeming qualities, the entire story was focused on her learning how to care about others but I‘m not sure it happened…

This really makes me think I'd have a better time with murder mysteries if they were all novella length. A couple caveats: I've had a good time with each book in this series thanks to the cheeky meta angle as well as the quality of the writing, and the last two books were not novellas. I also accept that if you're a one off or the first book in a murder mystery series you might have to take more time to introduce characters, and that adds 1/?

But this book did a great job of reminding the reader of the protagonist's circumstances, introducing a list of suspects, their motives, the murders, and exploring clues before realizations and reveals. The pace was perfect. We all know my beef with drag-it-out-for-the-tension/drama thrillers, but classic murder mysteries are guilty in their own way of regularly veering off a promising track because of some obstacle or

Readers could argue that perhaps too many people were cooperative this time around, but the investigation stayed engaging and didn't feel too easy or too fast. I do wish that the murders/suspect pool didn't revolve around a charity for people recovering from addiction, but the other thing this author regularly brings to this series is an edge of pathos, this quiet wish that things hadn't turned out like this, even amidst the relief

Happy to have another murder mystery series where I look forward to the next installment.
