Publisher's summary

Tearoom sleuth Gemma Rose is looking forward to a holiday filled with delicious Yuletide treats, time with friends and family, and maybe even a "white Christmas" in Oxford. But when she's snowed in at a country manor, she finds herself stumbling on a puzzling murder, complete with a body in the library, a house full of suspects, and a trail of mysterious footprints!

Luckily, the nosy old Biddies are on hand to help, not to mention her cheeky tabby cat Muesli. Add in some carol singing, Christmas baking, and flannel underwear, and Gemma's stocking is bursting at the seams.

Can she solve this festive whodunnit in time to enjoy the most wonderful time of year?

Always a pleasure!

This series just gets better and better! The mystery, the desserts, the fun and interesting characters... I can’t get enough of HY Hanna’s Oxford Tea Room Mystery series!! In addition to the lovely novels themselves, she couldn’t have found a better narrator than Pearl Hewitt, whose accent and tone set the stage perfectly for this series to come alive in the most comforting and delightful way!! And, as a lover of Christmas, I particularly enjoyed this addition to the series. And this book gives me hope for more romance in the next installment! <<crossing fingers!!>>

Purrfect Christmas story

H.Y. Hanna and Pearl Hewitt team up to make a purrfect Christmas story. I enjoyed the new characters as well as the interactions between Gemma and Muesli. This series is one of my favorites and I always look forward to listening to them.

Whodunit Christmas Confection

The tenth book in the Oxford Tearoom series has everything I'm looking for in a cozy mystery: good plotting, credible motives, engaging setting, humor and romance. This book has a bonus feature of also being a Christmas murder mystery ... my favorite seasonal genre. As usual, Pearl Hewitt does a good job with the marration. Having a Christmas whodunit to listen to while I cooked and decorated for Christmas was an added pleasure.

As a fan of H.Y. Hanna's books, I've become very familiar with the repeat characters, and I've come to expect the antics of the characters called the Old Biddies. The funniest scene of this book, though, is a debacle wrought by incidental characters and is very reminiscent of National Lampoon Christmas Vacation.

The heroine, Gemma Rose, was more reluctant in her role of amateur sleuth, which I appreciated. There wasn't the customary implication of police incompetence and absurd motive for interference. In fact, when the methods of the police were discussed, it was obvious they'd pursued a thorough investigation. Gemma was successful in ultimately identifying the murderer through a combination of happenstance encounters and her excellent memory and observational skills. I found this very satisfying, as the plot didn't strain credulity. As usual in Hanna's mysteries, there were ample red herrings, also built on logical plot lines.

All told, The Mousse Wonderful Time of the Year is a very pleasurable cozy mystery.

Disclosure: A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own.

Good story but these books drag on

So, I like the books. I like the characters. I don’t like that I’ve read the entire series and all of this has happened within a year? If I’m going to read 6-8+ books, I would appreciate more time progression. Otherwise, come out with the books every 3-4 months. These kind of stories are irritating and are a waste of my imagination.
