A Succulent Sleuth Mini Mystery
It's the holiday season and for Molly Green one of the best parts is the arrival of the fresh Christmas trees she'll be selling at Patty’s Plant Place. With the help of her sister May, husband, and dedicated staff the trees are set up, various other plants are potted and selling fast, and holiday workshops being held getting everyone into the holiday spirit. The nest day Molly is surprised to see the front row of Christmas trees have Christmas trees lights! While the trees are behind fencing, the barrier is made so that trees can't be taken out, but a person could get in. The trees look lovely, but her staff deny putting any lights up. So who decked out the trees?
If you're looking for a charming light-hearted mystery without a murder TWINKLING TREE TROUBLE is just the ticket. I can picture the magical scene of those pine trees with sparkling lights and am immediately put in a better mood. This is a purely positive puzzle. No thefts, no murder, nothing nefarious. And the reveal will have you grinning with pleasure.
This Succulent Sleuth Mini Mystery is a short story; a very short story. You could easily read it in one sitting. That being said, the story is really fleshed out and the characters dimensional. It helps if you've read other books in the series to get a feel for the characters and setting, especially in such a short story, but it's not at all necessary. I wish I could go to Patty's Plant Place, immerse myself in those particular plant nursery scents, perhaps take a wreath making class.
TWINKLING TREE TROUBLE is a charming short story sure to get you into the holiday spirit.
