Sunday Synopsis (Cozy Mystery)

 

Murder Under the Mistletoe by Liz Fielding
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I know the Christmas season is over, but this is a cute book and you might not even mind that it's no longer the Christmas season while you're reading it. This is a cozy mystery, but it has more twists and turns than the typical cozy mystery.

Meet Abby, mom to three children, divorced, but her ex recently passed away, and she is seeing someone she has reacquainted herself with. She runs the gardens in the town.

Abby delivers the mistletoe and holly to the church for decorating. While she is there, Edward, who's unsteady on his feet, is attempting to place the star on the tree when he falls. As the accident is being investigated, they realize that this was supposed to happen to Gregory Tatton, on purpose, not by accident.

As the reader learns, Gregory Tatton was a ladies man and was blackmailing a large number of community members. It must be one of them who had it in fir Gregory. You'll have to read to find out, but this is a really well-written book.

This is Maybridge Murder Mystery #2. I haven't yet read number 1.
