My review: Happy Homicides – 13 Cozy Holiday Mysteries by Joanna Campbell Slan and 12 more Cozy Authors

1 Lost and Found Holiday Gifts: A Cara Mia Delgatto by Joanna Campbell Slan

I liked it. but I thought it was interesting with the title that there was no homicide in the first story.
shows a little bit of Cara and friends life and they find time to reach out to others.

2 Dog Forbid by Neil Plakey

still no homicides.  Not a happy subject either but a happy ending.

Dog is stolen while on vacation along with ipads. That would ruin a vacation.  Deals with puppy mills too.  Which are depressing.

3 Elementary, My Dear Gertie by Lori Winston

a murder finally. also a imaginary friend and A not boring family Christmas. Keeps you guessing.

There are 13 stories in this collection.  Some of the authors were familiar to me and there series I read.  Some of them I have never heard of before but I now want to read there series. I really liked A Diamond Choker for Christmas by Nancy Warren   I loved the characters and would read more about them in fact I have already down loaded one of her books.

This collection is good fun mysteries.  You can just read one if you want at a time or the whole 13 stories.  I have read most of them in two days.  I will read the others when I have more free time.

Some of the books were just too short I wanted to read more about them.  I liked The Dog who Came for Christmas by Jim and Joyce Lavene.  You could feel the terror of the main character.

I was given this ebook to read for free and in return I agreed to give a honest review of Happy Homicides and be part of it's blog tour.
