I loved this book. I was feeling kind of like Shannon at the start of this book... I wanted to have tons of Christmas spirit, but I was struggling. Well this book helped fix that. Nothing says Christmas like lots of Santas and a nice murder right? I love the holiday spirit and how it was sprinkled in throughout the book. I wish this large mansion being turned into beautiful apartment was a true story, because it was a lovely idea. Shannon Hammer is easily one of my favorite amateur sleuths and it also helps that she is surrounded by an awesome cast. Though I did need more Mac in my life during this story! Some of the things seemed obvious

such as Lauren being pregnant and the mother of the mystery baby and I just knew the solution Shannon was going to come too. It still brought tears to my eyes while reading it though.

And I had my suspicions about the murderer from about halfway, I was only kind of correct about that. I just love Lighthouse Cove and these stories and I cannot wait to read more!
