Favourite Quote:
“All I want for Christmas is you,” I say.
“Are you sure about that?” Juan asks. “You must tell me now– right now– if you’re not sure.”
“Of course I’m sure. I’m one hundred percent, absolutely and definitively certain,” I say
Goodreads Synopsis:
Molly Gray has always loved the holidays. When Molly was a child, her gran went to great lengths to make the season merry and bright, full of cherished traditions. The first few Christmases without Gran were hard on Molly, but this year, her beloved boyfriend and fellow festive spirit, Juan Manuel, is intent on making the season Molly’s most joyful yet.
But when a Secret Santa gift exchange at the Regency Grand Hotel raises questions about who Molly can and cannot trust, she dives headfirst into solving her most consequential—and personal—mystery yet. Molly has a bad feeling about things, and she starts to wonder: has she yet again mistaken a frog for a prince?
A heartwarming, magical story about the true spirit of the season, The Mistletoe Mystery reminds us that love is the greatest mystery of all.
This was a sweet Christmas read. Now, this really isn’t a mystery book. There is no real mystery that needs to be solved; no crime was committed, and no one was murdered. This book is written for bookworms who love the Molly the Maid series and want to spend more time with the characters that we have all come to love. If you are looking for a Christmas mystery story, then this book isn’t for you. But if you are looking for a cozy mystery series to sink into this winter, I would highly recommend trying this series.
The Mistletoe Mystery is a novella and the perfect book to curl up with one winter’s night. It is cozy, charming, and so heartwarming. It was so wonderful getting to spend time with Molly and Juan (who was MIA in the previous book). They are both excited about the Christmas season, and it was lovely seeing all their wonderful Christmas traditions, some old and some new. The only bump in the festive road is that Molly notices that Juan is acting rather strangely and is afraid that he may fall out of love with her. Overall, this is a sweet, festive read and one that I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in for a couple of hours.
The Mistletoe Mystery is a delightful and heartwarming Christmas story that will put you in the festive spirit.
