Holly is forced back to her home town when her fiancé cheats on her just before the wedding. Back in Mistletoe she helps out as her parents Christmas tree farm, one evening after an argument between her father and the cranky lady, Holly finds the lady dead…

All in all it was fine but doesn't really do that much for me. If there was as much time spent on the crime as it was on the Christmas fun it might have been better. Feels more like a romance that a mystery.

At one point Hollys mom says the cute sheriff doesn’t date. And Holly asks some more questions and mom continues, “Nope. Ask anyone. I think every single woman in town made a trip to his doorstep when he first moved here last summer. Some kept after him for months, but he wasn’t having any of it. Eventually they all gave up.”

I hate that sort of stuff, like the MC is so special (why?) he falls for her right away.

At one point the cute sheriff says, “Maybe we can work together.” Why? Why would he do that?

The whipped cream in a can… what the heck? Doesn’t anyone in the US actually whip cream? I always see those horrible cans in books and movies.
