I've had this one for a while, and decided I should finally read it. As the title suggests, the events take place during the Christmas season. The main character, Krissy Hancock, owns a bookshop/cafe in Pine Hills, Ohio, and takes a week off of work, leaving her employees to run the shop.
Her plans were to spend go home and spend the holidays with her father, when he lets her know he's going to spend the time with his new girlfriend and her family. She is invited, but decides to stay home, instead.
Her employees tell her not to come back to work, as she needs a break, but she doesn't know what to do with herself. A friend suggests she volunteer for the Christmas play that is put on every year, as they are short of participants. She agrees, and becomes an elf. At the rehearsals, she discovers her ex-boyfriend is also in the play, along with his new girlfriend. She is long over him, so she doesn't really care, although he is a little annoying.
During one of the rehearsals, someone is murdered. The number one suspect is her ex, Robert. While she admits he is a king-sized jerk, she doesn't think he is capable of murder. He and his current girlfriend both ask her to do some investigating, as they are afraid he'll be convicted of something they both swear he didn't do. Krissy reluctantly agrees.
I read the entire book, but mostly just to finish it. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't one of those books you just can't put down.
This book is part of several of my 2019 Reading Challenges--The Craving for Cozies Challenge, my Alphabet Soup Challenge, and the Alphabet Soup--Authors Challenge.
