This is the last time, I think, that I will be tempted to read a book with so many rave reviews.

I did not like this book and could not finish it, which is quite rare. Perhaps if I had read other books in this series I would feel differently but I have no interest in doing so.

This book was mildly entertaining. I would read another in the series to see if they get better.

This book was just ok. I have read better Christmas mysteries. It was all right but not much excitement going on.

A silly but fun little holiday mystery. I only recommend it to people who have read the entire series.
