Three novella centering on murder and mittens, an amusing read. The first story by Lee Hollis and named Death of a Christmas Mitten Knitter brings many items into play such as pre-nupital agreements, kleptomania, and jealousy. One of the members of a local knitting group falls victim to death by a knitting needle. In the second novella, Two Christmas Mittens, witchcraft spirits the story of a cheating professor finding a possessed mitten and falling victim to a tire stick. The third novella, Murderous Mittens, has the victim hit on the head with a mitten covered bocce ball. I enjoyed two of the stories, but the witchy story flew out of my kettle. The new friendship formed between Cam and Cece in the last novella fell flat. The relationship developed too quickly. A fun and speedy read! ( )

“But I never wanted to see a mitten again, murderous or otherwise.”

Settle in for visits with old friends and new in this three novella Christmas set compilation from some of my favorite cozy mystery authors. Hayley Powell is back on the case when a knitter gets done in by one of her own needles right in the middle of the Bar Harbor Christmas Bazaar. When someone Mia loves comes into contact with an ancient curse attached to a Christmas mitten she won’t rest until she finds a way to save her. And finally CeCe Barton’s origin story sees her hunting down a murderer to keep her twin out of jail. This is a must read! ( )

Here's another terrific Christmas-themed short story collection of 3 stories centering on Christmas mittens.

As usual, the Lee Hollis story is excellent. I've never read any of her full-length mysteries but I've enjoyed all of her short stories. Here, food writer Hayley Powell helps solve a murder at a church's annual Christmas bazaar.

The second one was my least favorite. I've enjoyed Lynn Cahoon's full-length and short story mysteries. This one isn't bad but witch-related stories just aren't my thing.

The third one, by one of my favorite mystery authors, Maddie Day, was my favorite. In it, she introduces a new character, Cece Barton, who solves a murder done with a bocce ball inside a Christmas mitten. As a series, this series will have great potential and I'm looking forward to more.

Overall, an excellent trio of Christmas short stories, which I'd recommend to cozy fans.

(I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.) ( )
