Tinsel and lights and cocoa and...murder? The islanders welcome the first big boat full of visitors to their new dock, and with them, a murder mystery weekend that involves Santa, Mrs. Claus, and an elf with legs like a Rockette. Mayor Holly Baxter is juggling her growing feelings for the island’s newest resident; a letter that arrives in the mail with news she isn’t even sure she wants; and Bonnie’s sudden interest in yet another man who threatens to draw her away from Christmas Key. Will the magic of the season be lost as the body count rises and the mystery builds? Or will the locals pull together and make it a Christmas to remember?
Baby, It’s Warm Outside is the sixth book in the Christmas Key series.
Stephanie Taylor writes a romantic comedy series about a fictional island called "Christmas Key," as well as several other standalone romance, YA, and middle grade titles.
Not too impressed with this episode of the Christmas Key stories. For starters everything seemed very dragged out; it took a long time for things to happen. The murder mystery was a great idea with some parts explained in minute detail whereas others were skimmed over. Holly and Miguel were obvious from the beginning but took until the very last page! Bonnie running away again and the capsizing and miraculous all was a little unbelievable and impractical. Holly remains wonder woman managing everything yet with a remarkable amount of free time! Still an island I'd have to visit!
A lovely holiday read. Mayor Holly Baxter brings a murder mystery themed event to Christmas Key in one storyline, set against the on-going story of the lives of everyone on the island. Hijinks ensue, new relationships are explored, and the definition of family stays fluid. Take yourself to the tropics. It’s well worth the trip!
All you favorite characters are back in the newest Christmas Key book. It's like meeting up with old friends-and is even more special with it actually being the holiday season in this one. I found myself immersed in the murder mystery part of the story, but it's the little glimpses into the everyday lives of these characters that keep me coming back for more.
