This was so much fun! I adored the combination of mystery and romance and think Ally did this flawlessly. A Christmas isolated mansion mystery with an eclectic cast of characters turned suspects.... or are they? I love that we were constantly back-footed about what was even really going on; is there a crime or not?  An mystery writers turned investigators is such an FUN troupe when done this way!  A great read for December or really anytime of year (the Christmas vibes were not too apparent that it doesn't scream seasonal). It did take me a little bit to fully connect with and understand the characters (and I'm still not quite sure why Maggie hated Ethan so vehemently), but I loved the ending so much and these characters were fabulous!

Note: I enjoyed the audiobook and the dual narration!
