Publisher's summary

No one dreams of a killer Christmas....

It's Christmastime in Charm, North Carolina, and while Everly Swan would prefer to focus on decorating her iced tea shop for its first holiday season, Great-Aunt Fran has decided to run for mayor against her long-time nemesis. But when the other candidate turns up dead just before the first scheduled debate, all eyes turn to Fran as the suspect with the most obvious motive.

Everly knows her sweet, elderly Aunt Fran couldn't have murdered anyone, but as she struggles to find the real killer, it begins to seem like this may be the last merry Christmas her family may ever have.

Cute story

Very cute murder mystery. Like this series, sweet. Like characters. Reads like a Hallmark movie.

Fun Cozy Mystery

Humor and a close knit beach community make this one a winner. Will Everly Swan, owner of the ice tea show be able to find the real killer before her Aunt Fran is arrested for the crime?

GNOME MORE WAITING!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR THIS BOOK, AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THIS SERIES JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER. EVERLY, GRADY, THE GREAT AUNTS, AMELIA, EVEN WYATT ARE SUCH LOVEABLE CHARACTERS. I LAUGHED (WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD GNOME PUN). I CRINGED. I GOT A LITTLE BREATHLESS SEVERAL TIMES. MY HEART WAS WARMED. OH, THE AGONY OF WAITING FOR THE NEXT BOOK.

Very Entertaining

I have read and listened to countless cozy mysteries. This is the first time I felt the need to praise them.
I like this series because it combines a mystery, a community and some nice humorous fun.
The books keep me curious until the end. Even though you may guess correctly who the murderer is, you can't be sure until the end and then you may find you guessed wrong.
Good books that are a lot of fun.

Lovely

I love this whole series. Enjoyable and fast paced storyline. Not predictable and the narration is awesome! I’m about to start the last book in this endearing series and I’m already sad it’s almost over. Very clean, romance but without sexualizing, and loves me characters.

All the details …

Described by the writer in this book is my favorite thing. Mind you it’s odd that this town now attracts constant murders lol but what the heck it’s a book ! lol Poor Everly is so nosy she winds up in the middle each time ! Kind of drives you nuts and you know what it leads too but it’s a perfect escape series ! I have such fun listening to the foods and wardrobe descriptions. And the fact that Everly and Grady haven’t gotten together is very realistic! They both have feelings but Grady’s wife passed two years ago is still fresh and Everly dealing with a breakup barely a few months to a year. I appreciate the development !

great read

this is my first time using audible and I absolutely love it. the narrator brought the story to life and made it feel like I was part of the story. I love these murder mystery series and can't wait to read the next one.

Fantastic

Loved Christmas setting, yummy food descriptions, characters and the twisty mystery!!! loved the ending and can't wait to read next book!

Great build-up!

Another great book in this series. I love so many things about this book and the series. You can't help but fall in love with the fictional town of Charm and the author does such a great job writing characters that bring out so many emotions while reading. The love story that is building between Grady and Everly is so innocent and sweet. The murder mystery aspect of the book was full of twists and turns and the author did an exceptional job of pulling me in and slowly building the excitement keeping me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to start the next book in this series.

Great clean mystery/romance

I love that I could recommend this series to anyone. There is nothing inappropriate and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Great book! Fantastic narration. Anything narrated by Therese Plummer is going to be good. She’s the absolute best out there.
