Title:  Haunting in a Winter Wonderland
Series:  Haunted Tour Guide Mystery holiday novella
Author:  Rose Pressey
Published:  November 29, 2019
My Rating:  4 stars

I’ve enjoyed the quirky Paranormal Cozy Mystery series, Haunted Tour Guide Mystery from its beginning.  And HAUNTING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND is a fun, short dive back into that series.  Light-hearted, a bit of haunting, a few tense moments, and a personality turnaround for one character.  I will admit, however, that I did a bit more assuming on the plot in several places than I’m really comfortable with on some points.  I could make them tie together by thinking about it, but I really would have liked a bit more obvious connection to be certain I was going in the right direction.  I assume that I know who pushed Ripley on the stairs, but I’m not 100% certain that my assumption is correct – that sort of loose end.  It didn’t take away from the story for me, but it did interrupt the flow while I put the pieces together.  And one could also say that this is a mystery and I’m supposed to have questions and ponder a bit.  (shrug)

In all, I had fun back in this world for a quick visit.  And if you’ve enjoyed this world in the past then a short holiday-themed story is a perfect way to celebrate with old friends.
