Publisher's summary

After the wildfires are finally extinguished with the first snowfall, Sequoia begins to heal, especially with the holidays around the corner. Life returns to normal in the Sierra mountain town, with caroling in the streets, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, and preparing for the lighting of the community Christmas tree on Main Street.

However, for Zion and Tate, life is never quite normal. Gabi is still making organ-shaped vases, Logan has changed his major again, and Joe has decided to redo the electrical wiring in the house to provide enough power to run both the kiln and the heat lamps for Gabi’s new pet snake, Saffron.

As if this wasn’t enough, Rebekah enlists Zion to help her plan her wedding, but will the wedding be derailed by a suspicious attack? And worse still, is Rebekah’s fiancé, David Bennett, the main suspect?

Festive Time

I totally enjoy all the characters (they are like family) of Sequoia in this mystery series especially with the narration and was a long wait for this one. In this book the main characters are Zion Sawyer and Tate, as well as Logan, Jaguar, her fun parents who move there and more. This is supposed to be a cheerful Christmas time in Sequoia with costumes and Rebekah and David’s wedding, the opening of Jaguar’s bowling alley but then problems comes along with Brigitta Meszaros Recommend if you enjoy cozy mystery series but suggest you listen from the start to know the characters. Keep them coming. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and extremely enjoyable. It's the Christmas season in Sequoia with snow, a Charles Dickens' themed festival and Rebekah's weding. The town is still healing from the forest fires and finally the tourist have come back to ski. But Rebekah's wedding planner is causing waves with everyone, even the calm David. Both Zion and Tate, need to figure out why the pieces don't fit, before someone dies. As always an awesome story with great characters that makes you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same moment. This combination of author and narrator is just pure enjoyment. Looking forward to the next book.

Great Performance

The story line is good and the performance keeps you involved. I love following characters in a series when the quality of the story and performance are great. I have listened to a number of the Zion Sawyer mysteries and after I listened to Mint Mocha Chip I went back and started Cappuccino again.

Well written

Mint Mocha Chip is a well written cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I look forward to the next book.

Book 8 did not disappoint

I love this narrator's ability to do the different voices. I got lost in the book. Epic scenarios, thrill at guessing the ending. The author knows how to draw a listner in. I received this audio book at no charge and I voluntarily give this review. I look forward to the next book in this series.

I love Kelley Hazen!

I have been a big fan of this book series for years since I bought the first 5 books as a set and binged it in a week. M.L. Hamilton is one of my favourite authors and Kelley Hazen is without a doubt an amazing narrator, she is wonderful to listen too she has such a huge range of voices that is very impressive.

I have been waiting ages for this book and didn’t even know it had been released until I was checking for new books as soon as I saw it, I bought it, and binged it in two days!

I think this is one of my favourite books in the series it is hysterical, so many laugh out loud moments. I love the characters they are so well written. But the most entertaining are, Jaguar, Dee, Logan, and Zion’s parents are incredible. Logan in utterly brilliant I lost count of how many times I burst out laughing when he was psychoanalyzing people.

The story was blatantly obvious and predictable, but that didn’t matter as it is so much fun, and the ride is enjoyable to behold.

I truly hope that M.L. Hamilton will continue to write more books for this series as there are so many amazing stories that could be told about these lovable and crazy characters.

I cant wait for the next book!

So Happy to Visit Sequoia Again!

Before I can say anything else, please note that this book is part of a series that is best enjoyed in order. The cozy mysteries that form the crux of each story are woven delicately to the natural life progression of the reoccurring characters in the series. The series features an eclectic community that should be savored from the first book onwards.

That said, ML Hamilton and Kelley Hazen have done it again!! The story and the performance are fantastic! This audiobook has everything I love about the series with its laugh out loud moments balanced against the more series suspense brewing under the surface of the plot. It has a bit of romance, a sense of community, plenty of humour, absurdities, and, of course, the mystery. Zion Sawyer may be the unofficial sleuth but her work would be incomplete without her mother's python, Logan's antics, her quirky team of batista, Jaguar's moments, Rebekah's drama and so on. It is all there, jam-packed in this fast-paced performance. I'm already eagerly anticipating the next book!

This audiobook was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
