The Story...
Elizabeth Stone is ready for a white Christmas in Tinker's Cove, Maine - until a fancy yule ball at the Florida hotel where she works dumps snow on her plans. The sponsor's jewels have gone missing and the police are asking about her ties to a cute mystery guest. Good thing Elizabeth's mother, Lucy Stone, flew down to surprise her. 'Tis the season for a little investigating...
A Reader's Experience...
This was a tale of neat little surprises and twists, with the action moving at a good pace so as to excite, but not overwhelm. Elisabeth is a character I felt at once sympathetic towards but could also laugh with. Through her compromising position throughout the story, she is a calm, cool, and level headed character. We also get a sense of the careful planning, logic, and sense that allows her to team up with her mother and Miss Tilley in order to put the pieces together and solve the mystery. All in all, the story turns in to a fun and light hearted reminder that things aren't always what they seem. Also, a good crisis can either bring out the best or worst in the people you are close to, allowing you to find out who you can truly trust and where loyalties truly lie.
