With divorce papers to sign and bills to pay, Merry will take whatever job she can get this close to the holidays – even if that means dressing up as an elf for the annual Christmas Market.

I liked this book. It wasn't too wordy. Some books use too many repeat descriptions/words just to make the book longer. This book didn't do that. Even though it seemed short, the story was great. The ending was a surprise. The sentiment was spot-on.

I love the kind of story where a woman who's starting over can finally put her ex-husbaand out of her mind. Especially at Christmas time, when she's surrounded by friends and a new cat. Unfortunately, it all comes after a murder and she's attacked by the murderer.

Very short book no twists to speak of. Boring and not much imagination.
