Filled with holiday charm and perfect for fans of Leslie Meier, Jacqueline Frost's charming series debut Twelve Slays of Christmas is set at a Christmas tree farm when the jolliest time of the year turns deadly.

When Holly White's fiancé cancels their Christmas Eve wedding with less than two weeks to go, Holly heads home with a broken heart. Lucky for her, home in historic Mistletoe, Maine is magical during Christmastime - exactly what the doctor prescribed. Except her plan to drown her troubles in peppermints and snickerdoodles is upended when local grouch and president of the Mistletoe Historical Society, Margaret Fenwick, is bludgeoned and left in the sleigh display at Reindeer Games, Holly's family tree farm.

When the murder weapon is revealed as one of the wooden stakes used to identify trees on the farm, Sheriff Evan Grey turns to Holly's father, Bud, and the Reindeer Games staff. And it doesn't help that Bud and the reindeer keeper were each seen arguing with Margaret just before her death. But Holly knows her father and is determined to exonerate him.

The jingle bells are ringing, the clock is ticking, and if Holly doesn't watch out, she'll end up on Santa's naughty list.

I really enjoyed this book although it starts out with a murder it builds into a lot more, mystery, suspense thriller with romance thrown in as well, all set around the twelve days leading to Christmas on a tree farm with lots of daily events and the main characters Holly and Evan finding romance, Holly gets herself into all sorts of scrapes originally finding the dead body and Evan the Sheriff trying tomorrow her out of trouble, it was quite funny in places, narration was brilliant. I shall be looking for more books by the author.

Intense, compelling, intriguing murder mystery

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It’s one of those audiobooks that sounds a little cheesy but is so much fun.
I was a little skeptical when I first started but a chapter in and it’s so much fun.
The writer doesn’t go too much into the setting up of the characters and filling in the backstory too much for each and normally this would bug me but it works well for this style book.

It has that classic small American Christmas town that they portray on telly but I was so surprised and really enjoyed this book.

It’s got a good story but also a good pace. Some authors can drag things out and it gets a little boring or theres too much mono logging from the main character but the suthor moves things along nicely and dies drag things out but keeps the suspense.
This book has a good feel and it had me laughing in parts and creeped out in others.
Give this a go, you’ll be presently surprised 👍

When I first started listening I thought the narration was going to grate on me, but the warming story of friendship and family hooked me in, and the whodunnit had me wanting more.
I loved the chocolate box description of Reindeer Games, and wish I could go visit. This was a fun, entertaining and easy listening book and I loved it.

Perfect easy listening which had me hooked
