“Everything you could want in a Christmassy novella and more! The opening sentence sets the scene for comfort (and joy!) by entering in a wintery wonderland of falling snow and heading out to pick up a Christmas tree… Sean and Sara are very likable… This story kept my interest throughout with the little twists. I loved the humor with the blinking nose and hoofs, the chase at the parade and the little jokes between Sean and Sara… This cozy mystery will bring a smile to your face and is perfect for a quick read to get you in that holiday spirit! I have not read any of the McKinley Series novellas before, but plan to do so! I’d like to know the back-story of Sara’s adoption, their police work etc. Carolyn Arnold will be an author for my list for sure!!”

“Carolyn Arnold is one author who has changed my mind about cozies!  I absolutely loved this story!… Even though a serious subject, this was a fun romp… With chapters named “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” and “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” you’ll happily sing or hum your way through this short story.”

“A heartwarming tale…warm and fuzzy…a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.”

“Loved it!… Arnold is consistent in all her writing. It is fast moving and enjoyable. The plot twists and turns as they unravel the mystery. Enjoy.”

 “A great mystery novella for the holidays… A relaxed, fun read with an easy writing style to maximize your reading enjoyment. Sit by the fire, enjoy a cup of hot cocoa, a cat or dog nestled beside you, and read this good mystery. You can’t go wrong!”
