My thoughts on the Christmas Cozy: Murder in the Christmas Tree Lot

Tory Benning expects another joyous day at the Christmas tree lot, which she runs as part of her landscaping company. Instead, a local food truck owner turns up dead in the middle of the trees. Not only was the victim a friend—and a fantastic baker—but the murder can’t be good for business.

As the police arrive, the suspects come out of the woodwork . . . and so much for the holiday spirit, the killer might have been dressed like Santa Claus!

The holidays are challenging enough as Tory struggles with the death of her husband the previous year and juggling the family business she now runs full-time after her father’s passing. With that much tragedy in her life already, Tory just wants to move forward. She might even be ready for a new romance, but the vicious crime gets in her way.

Not one to let a mystery remain unsolved, and with the help from her best friend, Tory sets out to see what she can uncover about the murder, only to find she might be next on the killer’s list.

With a great mix of plot twists and engaging characters, including two tiny dogs with big hearts, Gonda delivers the perfect cozy for the holidays. The second in her Tory Benning Mystery Series can be read as a standalone, but it will leave you hoping Santa also brings you book one.
