Synopsis

Clare's grown very fond of Alfred Glockner, the part-time comic and genuinely jolly charity Santa who's been using her coffeehouse as a place to warm his mittens. When she finds him gunned down in a nearby alley, a few subtle clues convince her that Alfred's death was something more than the tragic result of a random mugging, despite the conclusions of the police. With Clare's boyfriend, NYPD detective Mike Quinn, distracted by a cold case of his own, and ex-husband, Matt, "investigating" this year's holiday lingerie catalogs, Clare charges ahead solo and discovers this Santa had a list that he was checking twice—and the folks on it were not very nice. Then someone tries to ice Clare, and she really gets steamed. Between baking delicious Christmas goodies and fending off the attentions of a persistent professional elf, Clare sets out to solve St. Nick's murder. But she'd better watch out, because if she fails to stop this stone-cold killer, she may just get the biggest chill of her life.

Not finishing this because I read the series out of order and skimmed to the ending. Predictable most of the time. So, here's what bothers me. If we're supposed to have an empowering female detective in this day and age, why is she being sexually harassed in every freaking book? It's fine describing h......more

This was a standard mystery novel, and I did enjoy some of the characters and the recipes/coffee tips....

I call these "cheesy murder mysteries" but this was less cheese than i thought id be getting into.

Goodreads review by Barb on September 10, 2020

I would actually call this 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the story once it started moving. I am grateful the author doesn’t describe the intimate scenes because in this book Claire is acting like a horny teenager. Unfortunately there were a lot of parts that seemed incomplete or rushed, even some relationshi......more
