This was the first book I had read by Paty Jager and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were well-rounded and grew in the story and the mystery was well-thought out. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

I received a copy of the book from the author and voluntarily reviewed it. ( )

First, I’m sorry I didn’t know about author Paty Jager before this. I’ve been missing out on some good books. I love mystery books and when you add Christmas to it what’s not to love? Even though this is a Shandra Higheagle Mystery you don’t need to read others before this to keep up with everything. The author does a great job of describing each character and the mystery keep you very interested.

The main character, Shandra Higheagle, manages to have her dog find a sleigh of presents ready for children but unfortunately, there also is a dead body in it. So, Detective Ryan Greer, has to find out who, what and why. Then another body is found and possible threat on Shandra and Detective Greer. Turns out Detective Greer worked in Chicago and a gang hasn’t forgotten about him and is set for revenge. Using Shandra as bait they will try to kill Ryan. I’ll say no more in order not to ruin this great mystery.

This was first by the author but not my last. I look forward to reading more of her works. I thank her for this digital copy for an honest review. ( )
