CHRISTMAS READING WITH A TWIST

We decided to switch up our Christmas reading this year and challenge each other to read a Christmas Mystery. Here’s what we came up with.

CHRISTMAS, CRIMINALS, & CAMPERS

BY TONYA KAPPES

Abby Fawn could not be more excited when she finds out that her favorite author is coming to town for an extended stay. She has rented a camper at the Happy Trails Campground and plans to work on her latest project. Things don’t look very good when Abby is found standing over the dead authors’ body holding a knife.

As far as the Christmas vibes go, I would give this book 3 Christmas Trees out of 5. There were a few snippets of Christmas like a Christmas sweater or a party, but mostly there was just a lot of snow.

THE CHRISTMAS MURDER GAME

BY ALEXANDRA BENEDICT

Lily and her cousins have been summoned back to Endgame House to play one last Christmas game. The winner of the game inherits the house. Soon they are snowed in and are getting murdered one by one.

On the scale of Christmas spirit, I would give this book 3 out of 5 Christmas trees. The book goes through the 12 days of Christmas and they do have some Christmas activities mixed in with the murderous ones.

MURDER FOR CHRISTMAS

BY FRANCIS DUNCAN

Mordecai Tremaine is invited to spend Christmas at Benedict Grame’s country retreat for his annual Christmas party. The festivities are full of Christmas cheer until an extra present is found under the Christmas tree—a dead body.

As far as Christmas spirit goes, this was probably a 3 out of 5 Christmas trees. The whole setting was very wintery and Christmassy. They had a Christmas Eve dinner and festivities, and the Christmas tree played a pretty big part in the story. But…you know…Santa got murdered.
