The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year written by Ally Carter kept me entertained while watching te snow come down outside.
This turned out to be a cute entertaining book to read in the snowstorm. This must be a new genre of mysteries that include a romance while solving the crime. Mystery Romance.... two mystery authors are invited to a country house for Christmas. They do not know who invited them, and when they find out the aother has been invited the tension begins. They start out by always arguing and then of course join forces when the hostess goes missing and murders are being attempted. Can they solve the crime together and also fall in love under the mistletoe before the ending?
This book is all about misunderstanding and finding self confidence. Maggie had a difficult, lonely childhood and she filled the hole in her life with mystery novels written by Eleanor Ashley. She grows to become a mystery author herself.
Ethan seems to be the perfect man, handsome, self assured and all the women love him. He is also a writer of mystery novels. When there is a contest for the best author they are in the running against each other and Ethan wins. Maggie hates him. She creates an image of him without really knowing the man.
Now they are thrown together in this country house during a snowstorm, the roads are closed and then the power goes out. Someone is trying to kill the host .
Maggie and Ethan join forces and oof course what starts as competition and arguments turns to agreement and working together ... is love in the air?
