I'll Be Home for Mischief

A Christmas Tree Farm Mystery, Book 5

By: Jacqueline Frost

Narrated by: Allyson Ryan

Innkeeper Holly White is decking the halls this Christmas season, but someone is on the naughty list when a body is discovered in the fifth installment in the Christmas Tree Farm mystery series from bestselling author Jacqueline Frost.

It’s Christmastime in Mistletoe, Maine, and the Historical Society has launched a widespread campaign to celebrate the town’s 150th anniversary. Descendants of the founding family, the Snows, have returned for the first time, and Holly is determined to make the family’s visit magical. In an attempt to put Mistletoe on the map, Holly’s mother, a respected local baker, attempts to break a record by baking the world’s largest gingerbread man, but her plans are whisked away when Mr. Snow’s body ends up in the batter.

When Mr. Moore, the local mistletoe farmer, is accused of the crime, Holly reprises her role as amateur sleuth to protect the sweet older man. Between hosting the inconsolable Mrs. Snow and other guests at the inn, receiving threatening messages telling her to stop her investigation, and preparing for her first wedding anniversary with Sheriff Evan Gray, she might need a Christmas miracle to survive.

When someone breaks into Holly’s office and scratches a warning into her desk, she knows she has little time left. Can Holly uncover the killer before someone else gets burned, or is her involvement a recipe for trouble?

I love that with every book the town becomes larger in your mind.

“It’s last over again…and the year before that, and the year before that.” lol
Also, Doctor Who for the win!!
This is the fourth year I’ve been reading Jacqueline Frost (and rereading them all over again) and it’s become a Christmas tradition for me.
I love them and they always keep me guessing lol (the new ones.)
It’s been awesome.
It’s amazes me that the story is new and feels like coming back to a cozy little place.
Plus, they make me laugh every year!
I was sure that she was going to surprise everyone with a baby in her by the end of the book, but, alas it was not meant to be. lol
Can NOT wait until next year and the new characters that will be introduced.

best mystery series ever

I love the plot and this author always leavese wanting more. I love how this author combined a sort of romance and mystery in one book and I love it so much. The first time I found one of her books was when I was on a cruise and they had a library and for the rest of the cruise I was reading and reading away. I could not put it down. when I got back home I realized that there were more books and I love them so much and I honestly need more. I can't find anything else like this. great job Jacqueline.
