Boy, was that brutal.

But not as brutal as the original Daredevil Netflix-era shows from which it follows on.

Daredevil was, I believe, the first of those Netflix-era shows (followed by Jessica Jones, then Luke Cage, the Punisher, Iron Fist and The Defenders), before they disappeared off that platform following the introduction of Disney+ and seemed to be in hibernation.

Until Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock turned up in "Spider-man: No Way Home" ("I'm a really good lawyer), hinting towards his other persona before also appearing in Disney Plus's "She-Hulk" and having a cameo in "Echo".

Vincent D'Onforia's Kingpin, for his part, appeared in both "Hawkeye" and "Echo".

The Yuletide Inn is a cornerstone of Rudolph, New York, offering a nice place to stay and nice restaurant for the many people who come to take part in the Christmas festivities that the town hosts all year long. When the owner has a heart attack just a couple weeks before Christmas, his son Gord comes to town to help run things, but he immediately starts making plans for big changes – changes that could hurt the town. Merry is concerned about what this will do to her own shop, her friends, and family. But when Gord is killed, she has a new concern – find the killer before someone she loves his arrested for the crime.

I was in the mood for a Christmas cozy, and this one delivered in spades. Being set in December certainly helped. The author does a good job of setting up suspects and motives before the murder happens, but I did feel the book stalled out a bit in the middle as events pushed actual investigating to the background. The characters are wonderful and charming once again.

NOTE: I received a copy of this book in hopes I would review it.
