Mistletoe Murder by Leslie Meier review

I started reading this because it was Christmas time, and I wanted something seasonal.  This cozy mystery seemed like a good choice. 

Lucy Stone, the main character, lives in Tinker's Cove, Maine, and works the night shift taking orders for a local business turned big, selling outdoor supplies online as well as in a retail setting.  While taking a break late one night, she discovers the body of one of the owners.  It is discovered that his death was murder, attempting to look like a suicide.

The book is filled with details of her personal life with her husband, kids, mother and friends.  With all the frenzy that is to be expected in the weeks and days before Christmas, she still decides to get involved in solving this murder.

Mistletoe Murder is the first in the Lucy Stone series, and it wasn't too bad.   I'm hoping the later books are a little more pulled together, as I thought there was a little too much of the day to day detail of her life included.  There were also a couple of things I found really hard to believe happening.



This book counts for 2014 Mt. TBR Reading Challenge
