Christmas Sweets

Christmas Sweets has three entertaining cozy mysteries. You will find yourself laughing frequently while reading them. While these stories had been published previously, I have not read them. I have read A Hannah Swensen Mystery series as well as A Lucy Stone Mystery series. This was my first A Jaine Austen Mystery, but I had no problem reading Nightmare on Elf Street. I was amazed at the trouble Jaine and her cat, Prozac could cause. Each story is well-written and easy to read. They are novella length so each story can be finished in one sitting. I enjoyed spending time with Elizabeth Stone in The Christmas Thief, and I like that Lucy brought along Miss Tilley to help. I appreciated the note from Leslie Meier at the end of the novella. The Twelve Desserts of Christmas contains recipes for each item that Hannah created. The mysteries are not complicated but I did not mind. They were fun mysteries that suited each story. I found each short story to be delightful, and I look forward to reading more books by these authors. Christmas Sweets contains three humorous cozy mysteries with a shameful Santa, a frustrating feline, spectacular sweets, a blingy ball, starry eyed schoolteachers, and an unwise wager.
