Murder, Mayhem And Mistletoe

Summary: Excellent Read For Any Season
Review: I'm not usually a big fan of short stories, but they are a good way to "try out" several new authors. These are character-driven stories with well-developed plots. I liked these people and would like to spend more time in their fictional worlds! I'm going to look for full-length mysteries by all four authors.

Summary: Don't Buy This Book
Review: When I bought this I was so excited to begin reading the stories in it. They seemed good when I read the back cover, but boy was I wrong. I wish I had never picked it up.

First of all, the stories deal more with relationships than with mysteries. The stories are cliched, and pretty much no good. The worst story of all was the Christmas Cache. It had nothing to do with Christmas, and barely had a mystery to it. The other stories were pretty much just as boring and slow moving.

If you're looking for a good mystery for the holidays try some by Valerie Wolzien, or Carolyn Hart.
