About this listen

Filled with holiday charm and perfect for fans of Leslie Meier, Jacqueline Frost's charming series debut Twelve Slays of Christmas is set at a Christmas tree farm when the jolliest time of the year turns deadly.

When Holly White's fiancé cancels their Christmas Eve wedding with less than two weeks to go, Holly heads home with a broken heart. Lucky for her, home in historic Mistletoe, Maine is magical during Christmastime - exactly what the doctor prescribed. Except her plan to drown her troubles in peppermints and snickerdoodles is upended when local grouch and president of the Mistletoe Historical Society, Margaret Fenwick, is bludgeoned and left in the sleigh display at Reindeer Games, Holly's family tree farm.

When the murder weapon is revealed as one of the wooden stakes used to identify trees on the farm, Sheriff Evan Grey turns to Holly's father, Bud, and the Reindeer Games staff. And it doesn't help that Bud and the reindeer keeper were each seen arguing with Margaret just before her death. But Holly knows her father and is determined to exonerate him.

The jingle bells are ringing, the clock is ticking, and if Holly doesn't watch out, she'll end up on Santa's naughty list.

I'm grateful that Christmas, family and community were at the heart of this story.

A little romance is good but geeze some of these christmas stories are missing the story and skipping straight to the smut. Not this one. A touch of longing and flirting and a fun mystery and well planned plot

Not the best mystery I've ever read but still, very well done and great narration for so many characters.

Wholesome story about community and Christmas

This story fits the pattern of many modern cozies. Young woman returns home after relationship breakup. Two attractive men are interested in her. Someone gets murdered, so the heroine takes risks to solve the mystery.
The setting is a Christmas tree farm, and the theme is Christmas. What disappointed me was that nowhere in the entire story was the actual Christmas story mentioned. Christmas in this small town seems to be all about buying and selling Christmas items and food.

Formulaic Cozy

A nice cosy Christmas murder mystery. It didn't exactly grab me, not a whole lot happens. But the main characters are sympathetic and the town of Mistletoe is a delight. Narrator has a soothing voice.

Another TSTL protagonist who is somehow the apple of everyone's eye, princessing her dimwit way through a murder investigation. But in a town full of toddlers it makes total sense. No one in the book ever eats a square meal - it's all cookies and sugar drinks all the time. None of them could actually function on such a diet, though maybe it explains why the heroine seems to be lacking brains, as it's probable she was seriously malnourished as a child. The reader has a nice voice and deserves a better book than this one.
