Who can get anything done during the holidays, when there's a killer on the loose? And in someone's house!
What holiday books are you planning to read?
New arrival:
Murder at the Port de Versailles by Cara Black, March 1, 2022, Soho Crime, ARC
I've been following Aimee and her investigations in Paris since the start of the mystery series. This is her most recent.

OMG - all of these seem like the type of Christmas books I want to read - I'm not a fan of the romance titles. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of holiday mysteries that used to be printed. Maybe not so much now?
DeleteI need to share this post with my book club! We decided to read a cozy Christmas mystery (any) for our December meeting, and trying to explain a cozy mystery is difficult. I'm still not really sure how to explain it.
ReplyDeleteI read Leslie Meier's Christmas Cookie Murder. I think I would like all of these.
A cozy is not cringe worthy, is how I see it. The ones who get killed usually are obnoxious and not sympathetic, so you don't mind as much. And the violence is down to a minimum!
DeleteInteresting selection of reads here. Thanks for the updates on each.
ReplyDeleteHope you had great holidays, Mystica.
DeleteNice books...Murder at the Port de Versailles looks good.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good week.
Cara Black's series set in Paris are really good. And they don't have to be read in sequence. Have a great reading week too!
