Death by Eggnog

Bookstore Cafe Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Alex Erickson

Narrated by: Melissa Moran

Krissy Hancock is staying in her adopted hometown of Pine Hills, Ohio, for Christmas this year - and she even has a whole week off from her combination bookstore-cafe. But a killer is about to dampen her spirits....

Unfortunately, Krissy's been roped into filling in for a sick elf in the local holiday musical extravaganza. With a demanding director, backstage gossip, and two men in fierce competition for the starring role, it isn't all sweetness and Christmas lights. Then a murder puts a stop to the production, and Krissy is faced with a pageant of suspects.

Could her ex-boyfriend, a fellow elf, really be the culprit as the police are claiming? Or will the actor playing Santa be trading his red suit for an orange jumpsuit? When her behind-the-scenes investigation starts getting dangerous, the only thing Krissy really wants is to make it to Christmas dinner alive. But first she'll have to finish wrapping up this case....

Excellent storyline. Kept my attention, and the characters were very believable as some of them grow with each book. Well narrated as usual.

Great Christmas mystery!

Krissy does it again! She is just at the right place at the right time, for a murder. She seems to try so hard to be good when it comes to not getting involved. Though she is a magnet to information. A great continuation of the series. The best friend is a great character, as is the sheriff, and the cats.

If you're looking for something Christian...

If you're looking for something Christian, keep looking. I wish cozy mysteries would stop crossing into mainstream "politically correct" culture.
