Book read: Murder at the Vicarage by the inimitable Agatha Christie.
This is the first in the Miss Marple series, and what a fun ride! Perfect for a light-hearted read, always fun to revisit Dame Agatha!

Challenge complete!
Light-hearted and Christmas-themed, I chose to read You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Sophie Sullivan - quick and fluffy, perfect Popcorn reading.

CHALLENGE COMPLETE :-) Craig Johnson’s Longmire novella - Tooth and Claw - was such a delightful return to the series for me. Love these little pre-Sheriff flashbacks.

Challenge Complete: Claude’s Christmas Adventure by Sophie Penbroke

It’s a sweet little story with a predictable ending, but still a nice read. You’re introduced to several humans: Claude’s family, the postman, several of the neighbors. Plus there’s a cat that may be good or bad, depending on her mood.

The book jumps from one POV to another, with several of the characters having interesting back stories. I especially enjoyed the postman’s, Jack, story, as well as Holly’s, the young woman who fills her time was crafts. They’re all brought together as they try to reunite Claude with his family. In a way, it’s really more their story than Claude’s.

Oddly enough, I wasn’t all that taken with Claude. I’ve read several books where the dog has a “voice.” I think this one was a tad too sweet for me.
