Deck the Halls With Homicide: Killer Chocolate Mysteries
by Christina Romeril
This was my first time reading a book from the Killer Chocolate Mystery series, and I really enjoyed it. I love a festive mystery.

Deck the Halls With Homicide is a fabulous addition to this series. The Halls were Decked, and there was Homicide aplenty. Set yourself up with some holiday goodies, your favorite warm beverage, and escape into Deck the Halls With Homicide as soon as possible.

I recommend Deck the Halls with Homicide for other cozy mystery fans, and especially for anyone who enjoys holiday-themed mysteries. This is a fun one!

☃️This is such a great series, featuring the perfect combination of a suspenseful mystery and cozy Christmas details. I gobbled this up in just a day, and it had me ready to put up my own holiday decorations. You can grab this as a standalone, and then I bet you’ll be adding the first two books on your holiday TBR!

Author Christina Romeril does such a good job of describing the town, the residents, and the decorations, I feel like I am there. This story flowed well and kept my attention. Many twists and turns kept me guessing until the end. I cannot wait for another visit to Harriston at Christmastime.

Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Frost and Vicki Delany, when a holiday decorating contest turns deadly, twin sisters Alex and Hanna trade tinsel and twinkle lights for tracking the twists and turns of a cunning killer.
Alex and Hanna, owners of Murder and Mayhem book and chocolate shop, are hoping for a quiet holiday. That is, after Alex is finished judging the Deck the Halls contest organized by Vanessa, nicknamed “The Dragon.” The whole experience has turned Alex’s usual festive spirit a little grinchy. Instead of inspiring holiday cheer with fun lawn displays, the contest has turned cutthroat and decorations have started disappearing. After Alex’s beau, Tom, is seen in a heated argument with the Dragon about his stolen trimmings, Alex finds him dressed as Santa, kneeling over Vanessa’s dead body…with one of his missing candy cane decorations buried in her chest. It’s no surprise he becomes the sheriff’s top suspect.
Alex and Hanna quickly amass a cast of suspects deeper than Santa’s reindeer roster, including an old family friend tasked by their mother with romantic interference; a nosy reporter eager to reveal Alex’s previous murder-y exploits; and the victim’s psychologist-to-the-stars husband with a spicy secret. But as they try to catch a crafty killer, Alex also grapples with the escalating wrath of Tom’s daughter, and a mysterious psychic dropping cryptic clues, while Hanna deals with her own Christmas crisis.
Murder puts a bitter spin on the twins’ sweet confections and they must find the killer and wrap up the case to keep Santa off the naughty list.
