Synopsis (Goodreads):
It's beginning to look a lot like... Murder.Thoughts on Mistletoe Murder: We've got a small town, an upcoming holiday, and an unexpected case of murrrrder. Throw in an incompetent sheriff who tends to always take the easiest route possible when deciding who did the crime and, well, it's a good thing former investigative reporter Lucy is on the case. So to speak. I mean, it's sort of unofficial. She mostly does it to make sure her friends aren't taking the blame for crimes they didn't commit.
It's Christmastime, and farmer Lucy Resnick is living the life she's always dreamed of. When she's not selling her jams, soaps, and mistletoe bundles at the Buttercup Christmas Market, she's enjoying cozy evenings by the fire with her knitting group--or her handsome veterinarian boyfriend Tobias Brandt. But less than a week before Christmas, a pall falls over the festive atmosphere when local man Randy Stone turns up with a knife in his back... and a sprig of mistletoe in his hair.
Local sheriff Rooster Kocurek, never the brightest bulb on the string, is convinced it's an open-and-shut case--murder by jealous wife--but Lucy suspects otherwise. She soon discovers that Randy's life was more tangled than last year's Christmas lights... and that unless she wraps up the case fast, there might be more than one funeral this holiday season
Anywho. On top of following the clues to figure out who did it, Lucy is also busy making soaps and candles to sell at the local Christmas market. She's also attempting to knit, gently encouraging romance for a friend, and taking care of her beloved animals. In other words, she has her hands full.
Not that all the homesteading slows Lucy down. She has time to work through the clues while heading out to cut mistletoe and observing the market shoppers.
A fun, holiday-esque mystery with plenty of small town goings on and a lot of shady shenanigans/ *thumbs up*
