review 1: This is the first Liss MacCrimmon mystery I've read. I was looking for a cozy mystery at the library and saw this on the shelf. I liked the title (I'm a real Halloween fan) and the book cover, so thought I'd try it out. It was an enjoyable read, and even though I've never read an...

review 1: This book was centered around all the hussle and bussle of Christmas, particularly obtaining the "hottest" toy of the year. The book is easy to follow. I was able to put it down (I read another short book I was interested in). But when I picked it back up, I could easily remember...

review 1: This is an okay little mystery. I guessed who did it, though how was a surprise, and I'm still not clear on why. It was obvious that no one liked the victim, but little concrete evidence of their grievances was offered. The major problem, though, was the contradictory characte...

review 1: I checked this book out of the library because my 4 yer old daughter picked it out for me. It was a mystery with Scottish cats on the cover. How could it be bad? There was nothing specific I could point to that made me not like it, but I just didn't find the characters interest...
