I loved this book. To say I got caught up in the magic of this book is an understatement, I might have even had a tear in my eye at the end. The next time I have a party I want this author planning it, well maybe if she could leave out the murder. The story was so well written it felt you were part of the celebrations and investigations. The situation and manipulation was also unfortunately easy to imagine and while not nice if you are living through it, it makes for a great story, especially told by this talented author. The mystery kept me guessing and crossing my fingers it wasn't going to be one of the characters I really d. This series is quickly becoming one of my favourites. I love the characters and the different temp jobs Scarlett has, hopefully giving the author lots of scope for a lot more to come.
Scarlett has had a number of jobs but this is the one that she is really loving. Not only can she use some of her skills to design and decorate for a big party but she gets to do it for children. The charity event is to raise money to help struggling families provide Christmas presents for there children. One of the struggling parents turns out to be Scarlett 's boyfriend Austin's ex girlfriend Ivy , who Scarlett can't help but feel sorry for after Ivy's ex in laws cause a seen at the office. Especially when it turns out he only took on the role as Santa to get close to his grandson. The night of the gala has a number of hitches but none as big as the murder of Santa. Could Ivy have killed her ex father in law? The police think so and the evidence points that way but Ivy pleads her innocence. Austin believes her and convinces Scarlett to look in to it but will he what she finds? The more she looks into the case the more she learns the victim wasn't d by anybody and as the suspect list grows, Scarlett even has to start looking at her friends and staying unemployed becomes the least of her worries.
I the narrator. She did a really good job of bringing the characters to life and giving them a voice.

This was such an awesome Christmas read that if anyone needs a good festive mystery, this one’s it. Scarlett had a pretty cool temp job she loved, and one of her own Christmas wishes came true eventually. I had a pretty good idea of whodunit and was right, but it was tons of fun reading how Scarlett solved it. Even her Dad, who was getting better by the day was able to lend a hand with the case. The ending was just so festive and awesome! Loved how the perp was caught and can’t wait to see what Scarlett’s next adventure brings!2023-ku Sandy Buch21 1 follower

Great series!!!

I just finished reading the entire K.B. Blake Temp Jobs Cozy Mysteries series. These books were great - interesting and fun - with a good mystery or two within each one. It's best to read them in order, but each book does explain things for you if you're not reading them in order. The main character, Scarlett, is very smart and manages to figure things out as each book progresses. I've enjoyed these books very much, and will miss reading more about Scarlett. Thank you K.B. Blake for a wonderful six-book series!!! Lavender Jade494 9

Audiobook review.

K.B. Blake has outdone herself with this delightful, page-turning cozy mystery. I loved the wonderful characters, the amazing story, the excellent wrap up at the end, and Amber Battaglia’s brilliant performance. A joy to listen to.

A review copy of this book was sent to me by the author. All of the above opinions are my own. Holly1,215
