ericarobyn 's review for:

Christmas Cookie Murder by Leslie Meier
2.0

I usually really enjoy these cozy mysteries, but this one just fell flat for me. I didn’t care about any of the characters or their troubles. I wasn’t engaged with the plot. And at the end I didn’t even enjoy the murders reveal...

Another thing that bothered me quite a bit was the main characters overreaction to catching her eighteen-year-old son smoking pot. It was way too much. I have to admit, I started skimming over the instances where the main character went off on crazy rants about it... which continued on many pages after the initial incident.


My favorite passage:
Right now she needed some tea and sympathy.


My final thoughts:
Overall, I did semi-enjoy this read. I never once thought about DNFing, but it just ended up being a miss.

However, I would still recommend this book to readers that enjoy quick and easy to read cozy mysteries!
