A nice little Christmas nugget I found in a thrift store and enjoyed immensely. I had fun seeing if I could solve the Christmas-themed mysteries and identify who-done-it before the answers were revealed. This is a book you curl up in a blanket with, and enjoy some hot cocoa on a cold December night!
