In the spirit of Christmas, I will be posting a book recommendation (one or more) once a week during the month of December. This recommendation will include a summary and reasons to read it. I will be sticking to Christmas-related books, but hope to diversify each choice.
For my first choice, I wanted a light-hearted read with a little bit of a mystery. I came across "The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year" by Ally Carter which is a delightful romystery that will have you both laughing and "awww-ing". In this story, the protagonists are Maggie and Ethan, both writers and both fiercely competitive, as they accept a mysterious invitation to an English estate for a Christmas party. It is revealed that the mystery sender is none other than the Duchess of Death herself, Eleanor Ashley, positioned as the most powerful author in their world.
The story begins to evolve as quickly as the weather devolves as the duo gets trapped at the estate by a turbulent storm. Not only that, but they have a live mystery on their hands when their hostess goes missing and they begin to wonder who they can trust. The duo has to team up in order to solve the disappearance, one clue at a time, and as they come closer to the truth (and each other) they learn how to be an effective sleuth team.
Compared to "Knives-Out" but with a fun, romantic candace, this cheeky, heart-melting story will get you hooked. Whether you are a mystery reader or a romance reader, this is one to try this holiday season.
