Have Yourself a Bearly Little Murder is the third installment in the Teddy Bear Mystery series featuring Sasha Silverman, manager of the Silver Bear Shop and Factory located in Silver Hollow. It's Christmas time and the Silverman family is delighted that their "Beary Potter" has won the grand prize in the Teddy Bear Keepsake contest and the orders are pouring in which means everyone is working overtime to get the bears manufactured and shipped in time for the holiday.

Sasha's mother Judith, who recently moved back to town has been elected to organize the annual tree lighting ceremony and village parade. Judith isn't too happy though when she can't find Santa Claus, aka Mayor Cal Bloom. Recruiting Sasha to help her find the missing man, Judith and Sasha find him slumped over on a park bench, apparently the victim of electrocution. There's only one problem - there is no electricity anywhere near the dead man.

Judith urges Sasha to track down the killer and together with her sister Maddie and close group of friends, Sasha finds herself trying to wrap up the mystery before Christmas descends upon Silver Hollow. A fast paced plot, plenty of suspects and a well developed cast of characters, will certainly put you in the holiday spirit. It was also refreshing to have the focus on the mystery and not Sasha's love life. I do however, urge you to read this series in order to get a better understanding of the Silverman family.
