The cookies are baked. The tree is trimmed. The shopping? Well, it’s almost done, and Fiona’s parents have finally returned home for a holiday visit—along with some unexpected unruly friends. Yep, Fiona’s perfectly planned Christmas is coming together, but how could’ve she planned for her favorite uncle’s murder? Who could possibly kill a sweet old man who’s played Santa at the local mall every year without fail? Fiona’s boyfriend, Detective Nathan Landry, is determined to find out—before Christmas day arrives. There’s only one problem: Nancy Quinn. Fiona’s mom is just as determined as the detective to catch the murderer, and she isn’t shy about getting the job done—even if it includes breaking a few pesky laws! Will Fiona and her mother find the killer first or will the killer find them?

My Review:

I loved this book! It was great to finally read one of the first two books in this series! I gained a bit of backstory and a lot of laughs at the antics of some characters and pint-sized little dogs. Add in Christmas, one murder, and a drug cartel, and the mystery around all of it makes for a great read!
