CHRISTMAS MITTEMS MURDER is an anthology comprised of three short stories by Lee Hollis, Lynn Cahoon, and Maddie Day. I’m happy to say that I enjoyed each story included in this holiday mystery collection.
My favorite of the bunch is Lee Hollis’s story, "Death of a Christmas Mitten Knitter." As a fan of the Hayley Powell Food and Cocktail series, I honestly cannot miss a story about her. Hayley is still one of my all-time favorite amateur sleuths and I loved her in this one too.
Lynn Cahoon’s contribution, "Two Christmas Mittens," was also fun and entertaining. Although I have read books by her before, this holiday-themed story made me consider going back and reading the other books in the series because I enjoyed it so much.
"Murderous Mittens" was my first read by Maddie Day, and I was interested to see how I would like this new-to-me author. I enjoyed it very much and will definitely consider trying out more of her books.
That’s why I love reading anthologies like CHRISTMAS MITTEMS MURDER--it’s a great way to discover new authors. Be sure to add this anthology to your wish list this holiday season. You won’t regret it!
Just in time for the holiday season, a new mystery collection featuring cozy mystery novellas by Lee Hollis, Lynn Cahoon, and Maddie Day!
