A Sweet Christmas treat of a book :)
Christmas Books and Cozy Mysteries are just two of my sweet indulgences! To find 3 Christmas themed cozy mysteries by 3 of my favorite authors all tied up in 1 book like a beautiful Christmas Gift was awesome! Each story is unique and a little bit different from the authors usual entry in the series. I really enjoyed reading each one of the little gifts :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and festive set of Christmas mysteries that could be read over and over, really enjoyed!

This is the first compiled short Christmas stories volume that I've read, and I really enjoyed it. It didn't seem to matter where a person was in the series. Each book just fit in well.

In the Twelve Desserts of Christmas by Joanne Fluke, we met Matt and Julie a couple of love-struck teachers who volunteered to stay with some kids at boarding school over Christmas. There was no murder, but it was a fun little mystery that Hannah got involved in, since she was baking cookies and desserts for the kids and the two teachers. I enjoyed all these short story characters a lot!

After reading Nightmare on Elf Street by Laura Levine, I was laughing so much that I just knew I wanted to start reading the Jaine Austen series soon. Oh my goodness, the descriptions of some of the funny scenes had me laughing out loud, especially when Jaine's cat Prozac got loose at the mall. This was a good murder mystery. There weren't a lot of suspects and I was a little suspicious of who ended up being the killer.

The third story, The Christmas Thief by Leslie Meier focused on Elizabeth Stone, Lucy's daughter that we don't really read much about in the books that are about their daily lives. I just knew that Lucy would come to her rescue when poor Elizabeth was accused of being in on the theft of a mega-valuable jewel collection at the hotel where she worked. Miss Tilley came along (I just love this lady!) and the 90-something's computer skills definitely came in handy in sifting out a perp. Elizabeth got a very happy ending out of the little story!

These three stories just showed how very different Christmas celebrations can be, but the main thing with people is being around those they love, or in Jaine's case, a pet she loves. Despite Prozac being crazy-kitty-from-Elm Street sometimes, she loves the little bugger a lot!

Jo Ann Fluke is a wonderful mystery writer. She weaves the characters together well. She gets all the community working on who killed the person with plenty of clues, but you are always surprised. And she works in Christmas activities for the characters, never sure who to trust or not.

I just love this author's series. I have made many of the recipes in the books and have collected all so far. They are my go to for new and fun recipes that are easy and really good. The directions are a little wordy but there are great cooking hints included to make your job easier. I can hardly wait for the next book to become available! The character development is so good that they become your friends!

I loved all of the stories and all of the authors, however these have all been published in other collections before:
The Twelve Deserts of Christmas was included in Sugar and Spice (2006).
Nightmare of Elf Street was included in Secret Santa (2013).
The Christmas Thief was included in A Winter Wonderland (2012).

I only completed the section written by Joanne Fluke, an author that I have read before and enjoyed. The other two sections were not to my taste and I have up on them.
Joanne Fluke includes recipes in her stories. The recipes that I have tried from other books were all good. I feel confident baking her recipes.

Although Hannah isn't really the main character, she is there and I recommend this to any Hannah fan. It's a great read and leaves me hoping that some of the characters show up in the regular series.
