I was initially a bit put out that Kate and Tom's wedding would be relegated to a holiday novella. But the marriage was a perfect cap to the mystery that pulls them both in and out of wedding plans as they search for missing coins, a missing friend and an unknown fiance. Kate apprehension at her second marriage--late flights, mishaps with the dress are relatable, but happily sorted out by the end. ( ) This is a very enjoyable, fast-paced novella in the Kate Hamilton series. In it, Kate and her husband to be, Tom, try to solve a mystery while also preparing for their Christmas-time wedding. Great characters and an interesting plot. I'd recommend this to fans of cozy mysteries and/or to fans of Christmas mysteries. (I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.) This was a good, quick, holiday mystery. It has all the good stuff: Christmas in an English village; a wedding; a mystery; families both found and born.I loved it. A great, short addition to a great series. Highly recommended. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this novella. England, law-enforcement, missing-persons, wedding, family-dynamics, family, friendship, suspense, small-business, small-town, antiques, relatives, relationships, widow, widower, series, novella***** A wedding, a valuable coin, a missing friend. Plus relatives coming in from Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Kenya. A widowed antique dealer with a shop Ohio who grew up in Wisconsin, Kate is managing the antiquities shop in England with her elder friend Ivor. Tom is a DI in Suffolk who might be leaving the force to work for a friend in a private investigation firm after their wedding at Christmas. There is a bit of wedding madness but that gets underplayed when one of Kate's good friends goes unaccountably missing and more. Lots of suspense, red herrings, and fascinating plot twists! A great short read from a fine series that can easily stand alone. I requested and received an EARC from Crooked Lane Books via NetGalley. Thank you! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In Connie Berry's festive holiday novella Mistletoe and Murder, American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton has a long way to go before she gets down the aisle, but will someone stand in the way of her happily ever after? Five days before her wedding to Detective Inspector Tom Mallory, Kate Hamilton finds her friend Sheila in need of her help. Sheila, a soon-to-be bride herself, needs Kate's help to get Carl Curtis, her fiancé, out of Venezuela. His passport was taken from him by the authorities, and they say he owes them money. Carl says it's a bribe, but he's unable to leave unless it's paid. Sheila decides to sell her grandfather's coin collection, including a valuable gold coin presented by Queen Victoria to her great-grandmother. Among her grandfather's stored possessions is a letter from the Queen. When someone breaks into Sheila's house, all signs point to even more foul play. As Kate deals with a disturbing number of wedding-plan hitches, a fire in town reveals a body. Unfortunately, the burned-out flat is next to the bridal salon where Kate's dress is being altered. Can the cleaners really eliminate the odor of smoke? As the clock ticks down to Kate and Tom's "I do"s, Kate goes to Sheila's house to help her search for the royal letter, but she's nowhere to be found. The house has been torn apart, and Sheila is missing. Could Sheila's disappearance be connected to the death in town? Kate will have to piece together the clues.
