This book had several mysteries within--what caused the sounds in the attic and what the puzzle pieces meant and who sent them. It was interesting to see how the island coped with an unexpected snowstorm.

Second Read:
A friend sent me this book after she'd read it. I've read others in the series. I'm not sure I've read the series in order since the books don't seem to be numbered as they are for most series. (This series also has a number of different authors.)

I enjoyed the book overall. It was a gentle suspense with the suspense mostly stemming from "puzzles" that needed to be solved.

****

When I got to the section where the town was creating snowmen and planning a Snow Fest with a snowman contest, I began to wonder if I'd read this book before. Goodreads says that is not the case (but another site says I did read it in 2016), so there must have been another book I read that had a similar idea of a town creating unique snow creations to "highlight" businesses or interests and having a town-wide contest as well.

That wondering "have I read this before" spoiled my enjoyment of the rest of the book just a little ( )

Dr. Abigail Stanton leaned back against her boss's desk, pen and pad in hand, jotting reminders for him and notes for herself as he sorted papers and arranged them in his briefcase.
