Christmas time, complete with a frozen lake, has come to the Cooper’s Cove Resort in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Unfortunately, some tempers are running hot, and a cold-hearted killer has “iced” Santa. This is the quintessential Christmas cozy, complete with snowflakes, a Santa, tasty sounding cookies, family togetherness, sweet bits of a slow burn romance, and a dead body. While it is book 4 of the Northwoods Mystery series, Yule Regret It can be read as a standalone.

Can Emmy help it if people open up to her during conversations and tell her things? Not to mention that she has a bad case of curiosity and an uncanny ability to be in the right place at both the right and wrong times. Whitney, her BFF, does her best to keep Emmy out of trouble, but is swept up in the thrill of the chase and plays Watson to Emmy’s Sherlock.
I adore Emmy and her crew. Emmy’s quirky personality and tendency to be a tad klutzy make her very relatable. She has just enough sass to keep things interesting and looks at all possible scenarios when making a list of suspects––and there are plenty to choose from. The victim, Grady, was an ex-con who may have been mistaken for Ray Pickett, the town’s Santa. The town’s gossip gurus know that something is amiss, but Emmy is keeping her “word hole” shut, just like Detective Tom instructed. The colloquialisms are classic! My favorite Emmy-phrase was calling an El Dorado a mullet car, no offense to the gals’ lifelong friend Marcus with the Mullet.
If you like a sleuth who could be a part of the Scooby gang, has learned to stand up to bullies, gets the hot cop for a boyfriend, would do anything for a friend, shares info with the authorities, and has an appreciation for sweet tea, then Emmy is your gal and this series is your jam. Oh, and if you don’t mind cliff hangers, there are one or two of those as well.
