What do most people expect at a Christmas Village? Hot chocolate, candy canes, Christmas carols, reindeer, Santa, elves...the usual. But when Misty and her friend Hank take their fur babies and head out on a road trip to celebrate the holidays, they wind up with a mystery to solve rather than a photo op under the mistletoe. Misty's cats are characters in their own rights. Floofus the "feline matriarch" and Doofus the "goofy...boy" are such opposites and provide comic relief from the tension of the investigation.
I haven't read the other books in the series yet, so I am getting acquainted with the characters for the first time. I like the idea of people having second chances in their romantic lives, as well as finding the perfect career. Both these characters are recovering from past experiences and slowly easing into their relationship, which makes it more believable. I found Misty's pet food business, Purr Bread Gourmet Cuisine, a likely job for someone who loves pets as much as she does.
This is a novella, so for those who love cozy mysteries, it is the perfect length to fit in when there is a little quiet time amid all the holiday hustle and bustle.
I received an advance copy for review purposes. Publication date is November 1, 2022.
