    A decent murder mystery with a series of puzzles and murder mansion. Set at Christmas with a 12 days of Christmas gimmick. A good time, but not breaking any molds or making any long-term impact for me.

    This story continues the mystery through line from book one, but focuses on two different MCs for the romance. I am a little annoyed because I wasn't sold on the MCs being together as a good idea, though I can see their compatibility physically. There was movement on the mystery through line, but nothing was resolved, so now I guess I have to get to book three. It's a begrudging continuation and if this series wasn't a priority 2025 series or if it was longer/more disliked, I wouldn't continue. Since I'm feeling mid and the books are short, I will look to find out the end of the mystery.

    Hitwoman turned mark storyline set at Christmastime. A well crafted and paced short story. Not a ton to hold onto after the story is over, but certainly a good example of the craft.

    Cute and sweet short about a winter holiday celebration between officers in the army of the empire. Would be interested in more in this world.

    This was a cozy fantasy that still had a solid mainline plot. One of my favorites from T Kingfisher so far, actually. And I'm including her horror and her fantasy writing in that assessment. This is hands down my favorite fantasy so far from her.

    Lighthearted and adventurous. No strict need to read at Christmastime despite the gingerbread man. :)
