What readers say
Readers reach for this series as an annual holiday treat, loving its snowy Maine town where it's Christmas all year, the family tree farm, festive food, a warm, strong-willed heroine with a quirky supporting cast and her cat, and a slow-building romance with the local sheriff. Many say the twists kept them guessing. Common criticisms are that it's more cozy than mystery, with a small suspect pool, that the heroine reacts more than she investigates, the second half can drag, and the romance moves too slowly for some.
Best for: Readers who want festive, feel-good holiday cozies with a slow-burn romance.
