As if baking holiday cookies, knitting a sweater for her husband, and making her daughter’s angel costume for the church pageant weren’t enough things for Lucy Stone’s busy Christmas schedule, she’s also working nights at the famous mail-order company Country Cousins. But when she discovers Sam Miller, its very wealthy founder, dead in his car from an apparent suicide, the sleuth in her knows something just doesn’t smell right.

Taking time out from her hectic holiday life to find out what really happened, her investigation leads to a backlog of secrets as long as Santa’s Christmas Eve route. Lucy is convinced that someone murdered Sam Miller. But who and why? With each harrowing twist she uncovers in this bizarre case, another shocking revelation is exposed. Now, as Christmas draws near and Lucy gets dangerously closer to the truth, she’s about to receive a present from Santa she didn’t ask for - a killer who won’t be satisfied until everyone on his shopping list is dead, including Lucy herself....

The story was good but there were some cringy moments. I didn’t like how the protagonist seemed to let her husband lead her life and I wasn’t sure if some things were meant to be funny or serious on that end. I see that this book is pretty old, so there’s some things you just don’t say anymore that are again pretty cringeworthy in the book.

Good but a little cringy

Absolutely terrible. If you like vomit-inducing, worn out old sexist stereotypes, mockery of Native culture and calling people “retarded” - in 2020 somehow we’re still using this language??- than this book is for you! I stopped listening so many times after something offensive and then kept giving it a try only to have something even more offensive pop right back up. Just awful. Also the worst narrator I’ve ever heard, sounds like a robot reading a script.

Blatant sexism, cultural appropriation and insensitive language, oh my!

I've been on a Christmas mystery binge and enjoyed this one, which accurately reflects a time, place and segment of society, whether you like it or not...it's real. The main character is endearing, and life is practical as it can be, especially at Christmas. Probably 3.5 but gave it a 4. I just missed what happened to her new boss, though.

I guess I should have taken into account when this was written. I felt like I was listening to Rose from The Golden Girls tell a story about St. Oloff. It was overly simple and a bit boring and dated (hence the copywrite date). I kept falling asleep. It may be great for others...just not my style.

This book was entertaining and I'm intrigued to listened to more books in the series.

I loved this Lucy Stone story (no left-leaning bias) just a small-town who-dun-it story.

Unfortunately, as the author continues to write in other novels she adds her bias— but not in this book.

1991. Terrific! Non-political, Small Town Story

Nice and holiday feel to it. Good cozy murder mystery. Not directly involved to Christmas, but everything happens during the holidays.

The reader was fine, but the story was a little blah for my taste. I prefer more excitement, emotion, drama, etc.

slower than I expected

I'd read some of the later books in this series and decided to start at the beginning and go through the whole thing. It was a good, solid start to a cozy series, introducing the town and all its quirky characters, as well as Lucy's family and her penchant for sleuthing. A couple of times, I was really annoyed with the heroine for doing really stupid stuff or for seeming to put her kids in danger in pursuit of the mystery, or for having so little compassion for her mom, who was struggling to deal with her father's death. Also, it is obviously dated in several places, so keep in mind it was probably written in the 90s. Despite that, it was still a good and quick read with cozy holiday vibes.

Trigger Warning (spoiler alert): There is a brief scene where Lucy is sexually harassed, including unwanted touching, by an employer. Also, a slightly graphic description of some deviant sexual stuff she sees while learning to use the internet. And a short description of a gruesome animal death that never gets explained. I was pretty shocked to see that kind of content in a cozy mystery, so wanted to warn others. All are brief, but seem completely unnecessary to the story and represent a breaking of the genre's norms.

I thought the narration was horrendous. The narrator had no expression in her voice and seemed bored and annoyed throughout the story.
