A Zappy Little Christmas: Hometown Hardware Mysteries Book 3
Paula Charles
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pine Bluff, Oregon is opening the holiday season with the lighting of the town’s Christmas tree and hardware store owner Dawna Carpenter is looking forward to a relaxing ride on the trolley with her daughter, April and neighbor, Smitty. However, Smitty spies a dead body in one of the Christmas displays and it’s up to Dawna and April to find the killer.
I enjoyed reading this story. I love the concept of a mother/daughter amateur sleuth team. The characters are well developed and the storyline is solid. The author kept me in suspense until the end. With all the twists and turns, I couldn’t figure out the killer. Charles is also able to give the story a warm, holiday feel despite the murder taking place. Even though this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. I have not read the first two books, but I was able to follow the plot with no issues. All in all, I would recommend this book to other cozy mystery readers.
