An excellent start for a new cozy series, this is one the best debut for a cozy series I've read this year.
It's an excellent mix of paranormal, cozy mystery with something more.
Josie, the MC, is a librarian with an unusual background (a whistleblower that denounced a tentative of corruption), the small town is lovely but it's got a tragic history and some wounds that need to be healed.
The mystery is solid full of twists and turns, and the solution came as a surprise.
I can't wait to read the next instalment because I want to know what will be the next step in Josie's life.
It's strongly recommended.

I loved this mystery and read it in one afternoon, it’s gripping and highly entertaining.
The descriptions of the small town and the quirky inhabitants reminded me of Fannie Flagg’s novel. They’re realistic and sweet at the same time.
It’s a novel about secrets and people. There’s a mystery but there’s also a realistic description of the life in a small town after WWII.
Charlie is a great character, clever and strong willed, he won’t start till he discover the truth.
He will discover that there’s a lot of secrets and not everything is as lovely as it seems.
The mystery is solid, full to twists and turns, and even if it wasn’t hard to discover the culprit, it kept me hooked till the end because there’s a lot more.
There’s some violent parts but on a general level it’s an excellent mix of cozy elements and traditional mystery.
I’d happy to read more stories featuring Charlie and Shannon people.
I loved this one and it’s strongly recommended.

This is one of my favorite historical cozy series so it gets harder to write a meaningful review as I can only repeat what I already wrote.
It's a highly entertaining and well written series and I read this instalment in an afternoon.
I'm a fan of Christmas mystery and this novel features all the tropes I love in this kind of novel.
This series improves with each instalment, this one was a slow burning mystery as the first part was introducing the setting and the new characters.
It's a mix of spy story and mystery and I loved the plot full of twists and turns.
The characters are interesting and I was happy to catch up with Kittiy and Matt. The character development is excellent and they are all interesting.
Even if it can be read as a stand alone it's better to read the book in order as there's some backstory.
I strongly recommend it and can't wait to read the next one.

I think this series has a lot of potential and I liked the characters.
Unfortunately I found that the mystery wasn't solid and it didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.
