The only thing(s) that would have made this book better is if I had been reading it via audiobook, around Christmas, while working on a puzzle.

The Christmas Jigsaw Murders was a fun time. The MC, Edie, was full of snark, instantly warming me to her. A perfect balance to some of the other darker/sadder plot points. The pacing was fast and the story was fairly easy to follow. There are puzzles throughout (maybe less easy to follow, if youre like me) to work through with Edie. Did I guess the Murderer? Nooope. But I enjoyed Edie's problem sovling and snappy banter with the actual investigaters/family.
