Brenda H. (booksinvt) -
I'll Be Home for Mischief is the fifth installment in the A Christmas Tree Farm Mystery series set in Mistletoe, Maine and featuring Holly White. Mistletoe has chosen a Victorian Village theme for the town's 150th anniversary, Holly's mother is attempting to set the world record for the largest gingerbread man and Holly and husband Sheriff Evan Gray are celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary.
Everyone is in the holiday spirit, two members of the town's founding family - the Snows are visiting and the mysterious Christopher's (readers of previous books in the series might suspect he's Santa) wife and friend have arrived by sleigh from up North. Representatives from Guinness and two obnoxious podcasters are also among the visitors to Reindeer Games. Unfortunately, things go terribly wrong when Elijah Snow ends up buried in the gingerbread batter.
Despite the pleas from her husband and parents to stay out of the investigation, Holly finds herself trying to clear the name of a close neighbor who she believes is being wrongly accused of murder. A delightful addition to the series, even in the height of summer. A wonderful cast of returning characters and a setting that sounds like so much fun you'll want to move to Mistletoe.
