Entertaining mystery listening. 🎧🎶
This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book 5 of 6.
Comfort continues to clean up after the fire. She and two others are sewing doll clothes. They are selling and helping the bottom line. Three offers have come in. Troy comes over and admits to be the aunt's lover. Then someone hits him from behind and Comfort sees the killer. Continued in book 6.
I would recommend this series and author to readers of romantic family adventure mystery novels. 2024 👒😀🐕😎

Ok, getting close to who did it??
Holiday Girl by Stephanie Bond is another series that is absolutely worth reading!! Do you like intrigue, romance, mystery and a real who done it??? Then you have to read this wonderful series, it keeps you wondering what could happen next, who murdered Aunt Justine, did someone deliberately set the fire in the Christmas Shop and did Aunt Justine pay the insurance premiums??? Questions, questions....you must read this wonderful series to find out the answers. What will next month bring??? I know I will be reading it just after midnight on December 1st. Will you???

This is part 5 of 6 part daily serial, part one is November.
Loving the concept of this daily serial, “In the romantic mystery HOLIDAY GIRL, a city woman inherits a Christmas-year-round shop in a small southern town from an eccentric aunt. The wrinkle? She doesn't even LIKE the holidays! But as she's drawn into the lives of the shop's quirky customers, she begins to realize that southern men have a certain charm... and begins to suspect her aunt might not have died from natural causes!”
This is turning out to be such a fun read, lots of drama, mystery and a few laugh out loud moments.
I love that they are short, quick reads, heading straight into part 6 which is the month of December, the last one.

Fun daily serial cozy mystery
Holiday Girl is a fun daily serial. The book is broken down into daily segments taking place from July-December. Each book is a month and this book is November. Comfort (Comfy) Ann Joy inherited a Christmas shop from her Aunt Justine. Comfy suspects her Aunt.was.murdered and she is trying to figure out what happened along with running the shop and figuring out what she wants to do next. This is a cozy mystery with some humor and some likable characters. Very enjoyable! #HolidayGirl

The amount of damage due to the fire is covered. Meanwhile the guy who stole her designs calls her. The real cause of her aunt's death is shown and her relationship with Justin advances, at least a little.
However, there are other problems she must deal with.
So it seems some things are getting better but there's still problems to deal with. Another good book in the series.

Is it December Yet?
An absolutely fun serial. All Stephanie Bond’s serials are so much fun . The light romance , the characters you can picture and the mystery make for another great read. Waiting for next installment…

Part 5
Twenty words to say how much I enjoy all of these daily serials? They're all fantastic! Start with Coma Girl, if you're new to reading them, then have fun with them. Read the Body Movers series too.

Yikes!
I can't wait for tomorrow for the last book of this series to come out. I was not quite ready for this cliffhanger. I think I always say this about five but this might be my favorite one yet.
