Christmas Trees and Mystery
Dagmar Smith is known for her Christmas tree displays, including a new themed tree each year. This year, she’s asked Allie, a dancer, to help with the unveiling of the tree since the theme is The Nutcracker. Allie, Aunt Gully, and Verity are on hand to help, but when something goes wrong, they find themselves with a mystery on their hands. Can Allie figure out what happened?
This is a short story taking place after the most recent Lobster Shack novel. There’s a strong mystery with a decent twist along the way to the climax. If you aren’t familiar with the series, now’s a great time to jump in since the emphasis is on this story with little backstory. The characters are developed for a short story – there isn’t time to develop them further. Since this takes place at a Christmas party, you’ll find plenty of holiday spirit with something Christmas related even providing a clue. I breezed through it in about 45 minutes, so if you are looking for a festive, fun story to read this month, this is the story for you.
