Fresh Fiction Review

The Blonde Before Christmas

Mystery Woman Sleuth

Barb Jackson just wants to get some last minute Christmas shopping done with her friends. The mall is busy this time of year, but Barb loves the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holiday. However, Santa Claus appears to be missing and a crowd is waiting for his appearance. This Santa won't be showing up, unfortunately, as he has been murdered. Barb will have to use all of her private investigator skills if she hopes to discover who is behind Santa's death. THE BLONDE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is sheer fun! Anna Snow crafts likable characters, and I love Barb and her friends. I like the idea of a group of women working together to handle private investigations and Barb, Kelly, Mandy, and their law enforcement contact, Mona, make a great team. The holiday cheer of the story reinforces their friendship and bond, and I can't wait for more stories involving Jackson Investigations. Anna Snow does a great job at packing a lot into such a short story! THE BLONDE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is a fun, engaging story and the Christmas setting is perfect. THE BLONDE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is my first taste of Anna Snow's writing but I eagerly await future stories by her in this genre. If you like cozy mysteries with likable characters, THE BLONDE BEFORE CHRISTMAS is the perfect story to curl up with this Christmas season!

SUMMARY

From author Anne Snow comes a holiday short story about a not-so-dumb blonde who may just be able to save Christmas... Private Investigator Barb Jackson thought she'd seen it all. But when a last minute shopping excursion leads Barb and her best friend Kelly to a dead Santa Clause beneath the shopping mall Christmas tree, she realizes that not everyone in town is filled with holiday cheer. Jilted lovers, angry elves, and a whole slew of harried shoppers stand between Barb and the truth. But this is one blonde who won't give up that easily! It’s up to Barb and her friends to find the killer and save Christmas before the Santa Claus Killer claims another victim...
