The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

(4.75 stars) A Christmasy, locked room mystery tailor made for book lovers and fans of romantic suspense.

This was a quick fun read. The banter is witty. The mystery is compelling and twisty. The romance is swoony with some great protection tropes. It's the perfect book to read during the busy Christmas season when you have a million other things on your mind.

My only complaint was that some parts of the big finale twist kind of came out of nowhere, but it didn't ruin anything for me. I just think it would have been better to lay a little bit more groundwork.

Overall would recommend. Will reread. Great if you watch Knives Out and were like "I wish this had more romantic suspense".
