I expected to be wooed by this book as the series was really great and I had heard great things about the book too. Until the final two chapters I was quite underwhelmed, the book is similar to several short stories and these were not in order. I found this a little frustrating.
Geralt seemed to lack a personal connection and I was finding it hard to enjoy this book. Fortunately, the last two chapters are brilliant, I devoured them very quickly and cant wait to read the next one. I really hope the following installments have a longer story but I don't know if that will be the case. Either way I will probably finish the full series as I niw feel invested in the characters.

When you combine the three stories, you get a full-length book. And all three stories are filled with fun. I laughed multiple times while reading. But they are solid mysteries, and I’m always amazed at how Old Red pieces things together. As always, the brothers’ interactions are fun, and I really do enjoy spending time with them as they navigate cases in the 1890’s.

It’s only a very short book, but that made it all the better for me because I prefer reading short stories over Christmas than trying to dig into a really big novel, just because I struggle for time over Christmas.
The characters were all brilliant. I loved Becca because I know people with the same attitude over Christmas as her, so it made me laugh a bit seeing people I know as Characters in a book.
It was a cheesy festive romance, and there were a few parts where I wasn’t too sure on how far the novel was going to go, but thankfully it balanced out the romance with the plot really well.
