Review:




A Cornish Christmas Murder tells the latest adventure of Jodie Nosey Parker.

Few days before Christmas Jodie is catering for a children charity event that takes place in an historical house, but after the event she, her colourful crew, and some other guests stay stuck at the villa because of a snowstorm. The morning after the snowstorm has passed but when the house awakes the dead body of the poor Santa impersonator is found in his bed chamber, the murderer is in the house and the police can't easily reach them so Jodie takes the liberty to start to investigating.

I am really enjoying this series, and even if in this particular story the murderer is not too hard to guess, it's indeed complicated to find the how and the why.

The setting and the characters are awesome, I can't stress enough how sweet is Jodie and Nathan relationship, and the historical bits appealed my curiosity.

The always engaging and practical writing of this author made this a good story, I highly recommend to read it if you like this genre.
