Apologies but I'm not able to provide a full review as I got to about 20% in but this wasn't clicking for me. Maddie seems like a great character and I love the idea of a cosy, festive mystery but the Golden Age style I need to accept isn't really for me and I found that the pacing and narrative voice wasn't working for me either.

Contemporary cosy mysteries are hit and miss for my reading tastes and unfortunately this one didn't work but if you love a locked room case, if you love a cosy read in a festive setting and you like your murder mysteries unfolding at a more gentle pace then I'm sure this will work for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quercus Books for a digital review copy of "The Christmas Eve Murders" in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.
