Mistletoe and Murder

The mix of holiday cheer and suspense felt seamless but also unique. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The small-town Christmas backdrop added charm and kept the story feeling warm despite the darker elements. Would the story work as well in a different setting?

The concept feels fresh and fun, especially for middle-grade readers who love mysteries. Wondering if the author drew from personal holiday memories or a love of detective stories.
