Misty Simon | Welcome to December!

We’ve had some snow here, and I love it! Well, I love it as long as I don’t have to drive in it - let’s be honest. But snowy days are made for reading, cuddled up in your favorite blanket with a cup of something steaming-ly good, both beverage and book. So, let’s dive into what could be on your gift list or TBR in the coming month of shorter days, which hopefully means longer reading time.

First up, we have CHRISTMAS MOVIE MYSTERY: A Cozy Cat Detective Whodunit for the Holidays (The Detective Whiskers Cozy Mystery Series) by Chris Abernathy. If you like your cozies very cozy and full of heartwarming fun, this is the one for you! It’s the last in the series but they can all be read as standalones. Give it a try and be taken away to Paradise Cove for a mystery that will leave you feeling merry!

Next up, we have DON’T TOY WITH ME: A Christmas Cozy Mystery (Fun-Size Mysteries) by Diane Kelly is a delightful romp for your holiday cheer! It’s a short story and just the right size while you’re waiting to make cookies or have a quick break between wrapping presents! Classic toy shop, robbery, fun pairings with our sleuth and her attractive boss? Sign me up!

Last but certainly not least, let’s take a gander at A VERY MERRY MURDER by Kate Wells. This delightful story is set on an inherited farm and is a ton of fun. It’s charming, it’s packed with great characters, and it’s got a ton of great twists and turns that will keep you guessing right up to the end. Jump into this behind-the-scenes look at the farm being visited to film a Christmas special where everything goes wrong.

And there you have it! A slew of slayings to warm the cockles of your heart during this festive season of lights, candles, merriment, and hopefully lots of good food that will require the forethought of wearing your stretchy pants. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and to all a good read!

If you have an extra couple of minutes (which, who does, but I’m going to say it anyway!) there is also a recent release from yours truly and several of my wonderful cozy friends. Check out Holidays & Homicides!
