For a cozy mystery, this book is packed with an astonishing amount of bitterness. I'm not convinced the author knows what a cozy emotion actually feels like. A likable protagonist is essential to the genre, but Cinnamon Peters radiates negative energy the way a puppy radiates cuteness.
Enjoyable second book in the series. There's an arsonist in town, and our protagonist Cin is preparing for a role in the summer play. Meanwhile, things aren't so peachy with her beau. And she certainly has some abandonment anxiety.
The editing in this volume felt better than in the last one I read, so that was good. I'll probably keep my eye on this series when I need another down-home helping of Christmas and Pie.
I obtained a copy of this e-book during a freebie give-away on Amazon.

I really enjoyed this unusual elf cozy mystery. I love Christmas. I knew this book was going to be different with Santa’s wandering eye and Mrs Claus in red knee high boots being a bit bwitchy. I wasn’t sure where it was going at first but I kept reading and am so happy I did.
I like main elf, Holly and her roommate, Elmira a lot. I enjoyed the changes Holly went through. It was so interesting. The storyline with Jeremy brought out the need for Kleenex. The mystery was fun. There were show more plenty of suspects. I like Harry Ebenezer, the detective, and am hopeful for some romance in the future. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. I am definitely getting book 2. I want more. show less

I love this series! This is my third book I’ve read in it and the second book in the series. I would put this as both a cozy mystery and a romance. The romance isn’t all sappy though. It has an honesty to it.
It’s Christmas in July in Christmas River. There is parade and a play going on. Cinnamon and Daniel are together. Kara and John ... not so much. It’s a hot summer that gets hotter when an arsonist makes it their playground. With the arrival of a visiting woman things may be show more changing for one of the couples. The past, left unresolved, is fast becoming the present. Isn’t that just the way of it in real life too? What happened in your past, all the way back to childhood, affects who you are today. If anything is left unresolved you can bet on it bringing havoc into your life at some point. I think that is one of my favorite things about this series: the artful blending of fiction with how things play out in real life. The author does an amazing job with the blending turning it into a book that is as interesting as it is fun to read. Every time I had to put it down to do something, I had it on my mind. I love when characters won’t leave you alone! Speaking of the characters, there is a new dog in this one. Huckleberry is still on the scene but, being a shih tzu mom, I’m really hoping Mr Crawley is in future books too. I adore how Cinnamon volunteers at the animal shelter. Seeing how easy it is to volunteer warms my heart. A lot of times we think we are too busy to be able to make an impact. The author does great with showing us not only how easy it is but also how it benefits us too.
You can read out of order if you really want to. I started off with Silence of the Elves which was way out of order. I then had to read the series so I started with book 1. After reading the three, I would strongly suggest reading them in order. The romance, friendships and family are all things you want to read as they unfold. The mystery is complete, though, if that is all you want. Either way, get reading. I’m certain you will be hooked! show less
